Description

A bottle of Barbeito 1875 Malvazia, a fortified wine from the Portuguese island of Madeira.

Michael Broadbent MW notes in Vintage Wine that 1875 yielded a 'tiny crop but some outstanding wines.'

Sarah Ahmed, The Wine Detective, writing in 2011 described Barbeito 1875 Malvazia thus: 'a very savoury nose and palate with nam pla, green tomatoes and tobacco providing edge and interest to its essence of dried fruits. Though initially a little fiery/warm, it has more than enough intensity of flavour to relegate the spirit to a supporting role – as my notes say “the intensity of flavour is beyond belief.” Impressive but attractive bracing acidity also accounts for its phenomenal length…wow wow wow wow wow!'
