Blandy's Rainwater Medium Dry 750ml
Product Description
Manufacturer's Notes: This Madeira wine has been crafted from the sub-volcanic, sub-tropical Portuguese island of Madeira, located some 400 miles off the Northwest African coast. The Blandy's are unique in being the only family of all the original founders of the Madeira wine trade to still own and manage their wine company, maintaining a tradition that goes back to 1811. Rainwater Madeira was named after the legend that a barrel of Madeira wine was left on a dock in a port on the East coast of the United States and after days of heavy rainfall. the wine had been diluted with rainwater. Rather than discard the wine, the merchant sold it off as a new, lighter style of wine, gaining much popularity. A medium dry Madeira with nutty aromas and a firm acidity that is best served chilled as an aperitif.
Produzido a partir de uma das castas tipicas da ilha da Maderia, localizada a caerca de 400 milhas ao largo da costa africana, de solos vulcanicos e clima sub-tropical, este vinho e o resultado da pericia e saber acumulados ao longo de dois seculos pela familia Blandy que, desde 1811, se dedica a producao e preservacao das tradicoes deste vinho generoso. O Rainwater deve o seu nome a lenda que conta a historia de um barril de vinho Madeira que foi deixado a chuva numa doca costa Este dos Estados Unidos, onde permanecue alguns dias, o que fez com que o vinho ficasse diludio. Em vez de se desfazer do vinho, o comerciante vendue-o-como um novo estilo de vinho Madeira mais leve, que se tornou popular. Um vinho madeira meio seco, com notas de nozes e uma acentuada frescura que desera ser apreciado fresco, como vinho de apertivo.
