Staff Pick Notes

Enter Madeira: One of Portugal's most beloved and prized possessions! A fortified wine with a rich history that stretches back to the days of exploration. This Rainwater Madeira is aged 3 years in oak casks and is a young energetic expression. The hue is a shimmering golden copper, the nose is an enticing array of dried apricots and waxed vanilla fig.

A 375ml bottle with this much taste of terrior is a "must half"! Insert rain dance here.
