Verdelho Madeira Reserva Velha

1950 Madeira Verdelho

Barbeito Verdelho Madeira Reserva Velha is a remarkable white wine that showcases the rich traditions of the Madeira region. This vintage, dating back to nineteen fifty, captivates with its deep golden hue, hinting at the complexity within. The wine presents a medium-bodied profile, balancing a lively acidity that invigorates the palate with each sip. Fruit intensity is quite prominent, revealing alluring notes of dried apricot and honey, which are beautifully interwoven with hints of toasted nuts and subtle spices. The texture is smooth, with a gentle warmth that reflects its long aging process, making it a perfect companion for rich cheeses or decadent desserts. This Verdelho is a delightful testament to the heritage of Madeira winemaking, offering a unique tasting experience that is both elegant and enduring.

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.
