Barbeito, Malvasia Candida Special Res

Tasting Notes

Barbeito Malvasia Cândida Reserva Especial (Special Reserve) is an exceptionally rare, sweet, fortified Madeira wine produced by Vinhos Barbeito. It is crafted from the Malvasia Cândida grape, a legendary and near-extinct variety distinct from the island’s standard Malvasia-de-São-Jorge.

Full, luscious, and unctuous. The deep honeyed sweetness and notes of roasted pecans or coffee cream are perfectly balanced by a striking, electric citrus acidity and a long, saline, persistent finish.
