Verdelho Frasqueira

1992 Madeira Verdelho

The Barbeito Verdelho Frasqueira from the renowned Madeira region is a captivating white wine that embodies the essence of age and craftsmanship. This vintage 1992 showcases a medium body, offering a balanced texture that coats the palate effortlessly. Delicate acidity adds a refreshing lift, enhancing the wine's overall vibrancy. The fruit intensity is pronounced, revealing notes of dried apricot, citrus zest, and hints of caramel and honey, which are hallmarks of its meticulous maturation process. With a dry profile, this Verdelho invites you to experience its complexity, and its subtle tannins provide a gentle structure that complements its layered flavors. This exceptional wine perfectly exemplifies the quality and tradition of Madeira, making it a true treasure for any wine enthusiast.

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.
