Incredibly rich, with dark fruitcake flavors and dry spice that balances its sweetness.
The blend is 85% Malvasia from Arco de Sao Jorge and 15% Tinta Negra from Estreito de Camara de Lobos — Malvasia aged 15 to 20 years, Tinta Negra aged 40 to 60 years — matured in the traditional Canteiro method, meaning barrel aging in warm lodges under the Madeiran sun rather than the estufagem heat tanks used for younger wines. The result is 97 g/l of residual sugar and 19% ABV, balanced by Madeira's characteristically high acidity.
About the Historic Series:
In 1998 Rare Wine Company began working with Vinhos Barbeito’s owner, Ricardo Freitas, to create a series of Madeiras reflecting the style and complexity that enchanted our forefathers. The Rare Wine Co. had long been known as America’s pre-eminent source of Vintage Madeiras from the 18th, 19th and early 20th centuries; yet, Ricardo was perfectly positioned to help us. He, too, possessed a remarkable library of old Madeira, but he also had a unique understanding of the qualities we sought. And, for the project, he could contribute wines ranging in age from ten to sixty years, allowing us to produce superbly complex, aged Madeiras at affordable prices.
To emphasize America’s deep historical connection to Madeira, each wine in the series is named for a U.S. city where Madeira was popular in the 18th and 19th centuries. Thus, Charleston Sercial and Savannah Verdelho celebrate the South’s love of drier Madeiras, while Boston Bual and New York Malmsey acknowledge the North’s appreciation of sweeter Madeiras.
