A Meias Verdelho na Ânfora 2023 White WIne

Meias Verdelho na Anfora is a unique white wine, the result of a collaboration between Vinhos Barbeito (Madeira) and Herdade do Rocim (Alentejo), which brings the influence of Alentejo amphorae to the vinification of a Madeira grape variety.

Produced predominantly from the Verdelho grape variety (around 92%), with a small percentage of Sercial (around 8%), the wine is fermented and aged in clay amphorae (without the rind), usually for around 9 months. This method gives it special characteristics.

Meias Verdelho na Anfora White Wine has a light yellow citrus colour. The nose is fresh, with hints of white flowers, peaches, citrus notes and a subtle oxidative note (terracotta, ceramics/clay). It can also have savoury notes. The palate is dry, with good concentration and assertive acidity. It has a citrus flavour, with some clay sensation, a salty touch and a persistent, mineral and elegant finish. It is described as dense, complex and with high acidity.

Excellent with seafood dishes (such as mussels), fish, salads and can also harmonise with different types of meat and mature
