Madeira Collection NR 4
Region: Madeira
Producer: Vinhos Barbeito
The apero one. A blend of mainly vedelho and sercial with a very dry tinta negra to approach the lightness of a rainwater/ This nr.4 replicates the classic rainwater which is a very light madeira showing citrus and fruity aromas. Light yellow to straw in colour, with citrus and fruity aromas. Light, dry and fresh on the palate — the range's aperitif wine. Exclusively created by Barbeito for The Portugal Collection.| Volume | 50.0 cl. |
| Grape Variety | tinta negra / Verdelho /Sercial |
| Drinking window | every day |
| Serveren bij | Excellent as an aperitif—served chilled—or with foie gras. |
| Alc. | 20.0% |
| Vinification | A blend of Tinta Negra, Verdelho and Sercial, fermented following the traditional Madeira method to the dry level — a style inspired by the classic light 'rainwater' Madeira. |
| Ripening | The MC 1234 is a project created by the madeira collection to lower the entrylevel on madeira wines by giving the wines less oxidation. We try to do that to blend young wines +/- 10 y old of different grape varietals with lots of fruit and good freshness. <br /> <br />The project goal is to bring a different style from what excist in the general offer of Madeirawines. |
Waar serveer je ’m bij?
The most accessible of the four, and that is no accident: Tinta Negra with Verdelho and Sercial to the dry level, with a lower alcohol and strikingly low oxidation figures. It therefore has far more freshness and citrus notes than you expect from Madeira, and far less of that burnt, heavy side. Anyone who never liked Madeira should start with this one — and it is the only one of the four you can also put with a warm main course.

Sweet desserts. And although it is fresher than the rest of the series, it remains a fortified wine: a light starter is still drowned out by it.
