The Madeira wine has been crafted from the vulcanic, sub-tropical Portuguese island named Madeira, located some 400 miles off the Northwest African coast. The Blandy´s are unique in being the only family of all the original founders of the Madeira wine trade to still own and manage their wine company, maintaining a tradition that goes back to 1811.
Rainwater Madeira was named after the legend that a barrel of Madeira wine was left on a dock in a port on the East of the United States and after days of heavy rainfall the wine had been diluted with rainwater. Rather than discard the wine, the merchant sold if off as new, lighter style of wine, gaining much popularity. A medium dry Madeira with nutty aromas and a firm acidity that is best served chilled as an aperitif.
