Barbeito Madeira Rainwater Reserva 50cl

Rainwater Madeira is a type of Madeira wine known for its slightly lighter body and subtle sweetness compared to other Madeira styles. The name 'rainwater' originated in the colonial American market in the 18th century, possibly because the wine was diluted with rainwater during its shipment or it may simply reflect its delicately smooth texture, reminiscent of rainwater. This example from Barbeito is a blend of 80% tinta negra and 20% verdelho, and was aged for five years. Try it lightly chilled as an aperitif.
