Why Collectors Love It:

• Remarkable Longevity: Enjoy now or cellar confidently through 2050 thanks to Madeira’s legendary aging potential
• 18% Alcohol Content: Balanced sweetness with vibrant acidity, perfect as an aperitif or paired with creamy desserts

The Rainwater Mystery

Legend claims this style emerged when 1700s barrels were left on beaches, absorbing coastal character. Our modern interpretation captures that same maritime charm—fleshy peach and candle wax aromas wrapped in a satiny, medium-bodied palate.

Note: Actual vintage may vary. 750ml bottle.

Ideal for wine enthusiasts seeking rare Portuguese treasures or dessert wine alternatives with historical significance.
