Product details
Second Verdelho blend, from the Ribeiro Real project, with wines originating from grapes produced from vineyards (some currently extinct) in Estreito de Câmara de Lobos, Prazeres, and Ribeira da Janela. Both the Verdelho and Tinta Negra wines were aged in warehouses with distinct characteristics and locations. These factors strongly influenced the concentration and balance of the wines, which were essential conditions for selecting them in the preparation of this blend. Two wines were selected from the years 1994 and 1995, originating from vineyards in Prazeres and vinified in the Barbeito winery using a horizontal screw press. Aged in our cooler warehouses in old French oak casks these wines are characterized mainly by their elegance. The third Verdelho and Tinta Negra, both from the 1950s, were extremely concentrated and had high acidity. They came from vineyards in Ribeira da Janela and Estreito de Camara de Lobos (Ribeiro Real property), owned by the Vieira family, and were aged in the canteiro warehouse located in the centre of Funchal. 601 units were bottled in January 2023, all numbered.
