Barbeito Bastardo Tres Pipas
Bastardo was extinct in Madeira for many years until its recovery was due to Teófilo Cunha, who in 2004 planted vineyards of that variety on his family ́s lands in São Jorge, situated on the north of the island. In this Old Reserve blend, three wines were added, the first by skin maceration from the year 2010 and the other two by direct pressing from the years 2009 and 2011. Slightly spicy fresh palate, involving the entire mouth with a vibrant and precise acidity. Smooth apricot flavour in a fresh and elegant finish. Excellent as an appetizer, fish stew, Espada fish fried eggs, marinated and/or smoked fish. 2,139 bottles were released in total.

Jancis Robinson | "It's a rushing, a texture of silk over stone over driftwood over moss over shadow over pool. It's Seville oranges and satsuma, grapefruit pith and toast, but more than that, it's this deep, bone-clanging, reverberating tang" |
