A specialized Madeira crafted to revive a historic 18th- and 19th-century style. Once the most prestigious Madeira style in America, "Rainwater" was particularly beloved in Baltimore, where connoisseurs considered it the "highest standard"
Unlike some Madeiras that are very sweet or heavy, the Baltimore Rainwater is known for its ethereal body and finesse.
Structure: It features high acidity and a delicate salinity, making it light enough to be served as an aperitif, often chilled.
The Blend: Created in partnership with Barbeito’s Ricardo Freitas, it typically consists of 80% Verdelho (aged 8–13 years) and 20% Tinta Negra Mole to add body without increasing sweetness.
The Aperitif Hour (Chilled):Because it is light-bodied, it is excellent when served slightly chilled with salty or savory snacks.
Roasted Nuts & Olives: Particularly toasted almonds, cashews, or pistachios.
Charcuterie: The wine's acidity cuts through the fat of cured meats like prosciutto, serrano ham, or even a
game terrine
Hard Cheeses: Salty, nutty cheeses like Parmesan, aged Manchego, or sharp Vermont Cheddar.
Main Dishes
Rich Meats: Roasted duck, sweetbreads, or even skirt steak with sweet-and-sour onions.
Spicy Cuisine: It surprisingly holds its own against tandoori chicken or spicy Asian dishes like
Thai curries.
