Malvasia

1950 Madeira Malvasia

The Barbeito Malvasia from the magnificent Madeira region is a true gem that beautifully encapsulates the essence of this historic island. Aged to perfection since 1950, this white wine presents a medium body, showcasing a delightful balance between richness and refreshing lightness. Its acidity is bright and lively, lending an invigorating quality that contrasts beautifully with its prominent fruit intensity, characterized by luscious notes of stone fruits and citrus. The wine exhibits a subtle sweetness that is elegantly offset by its dry finish, making it an incredibly versatile choice for pairing with various culinary delights. With a soft and approachable tannin structure, this Malvasia invites sips filled with depth and complexity, providing a memorable tasting experience that reflects the unique terroir of Madeira.

Best known for its port dessert wine, Portugal is also home to some seriously worthwhile—though frequently overlooked—red and white table wines. This small country on the Iberian Peninsula has a wide range of climates, allowing it to produce everything from light and crisp whites in the Atlantic-cooled northwest to ripe and juicy reds in the hot and hilly Douro Valley. What often sets apart Portuguese wines is that they are often made from local grapes rather than more familiar international varieties. Difficult to pronounce (but a joy to drink!), common varietals include Touriga Nacional, Tinta Cão, and Loureiro.
