Ricardo de Freitas is the third generation to run this small company, since grandfather Mario Barbeito set himself up in business in 1946.
Over the last ten years Ricardo has transformed the operation into what must be the most dynamic of all Madeira shippers and it is now 50% owned by the Japanese company Kinoshita Shoji.
The ideal introduction to canteiro Madeiras, it has a lovely 'caramel and walnuts' style of Boal, with good zippy acidity, and a remarkably long finish
Slightly shy nutty nose with some subtle spice notes, too. The palate is rich and concentrated and has an unusual acidic edge. Very appealing and with great length. Quite sweet. Very good/excellent!
