Sandeman - Character Superior Medium Dry Sherry (500ml)

Rainwater Madeira is a lighter, drier style than most other Madeira. Although rare today, Rainwater Madeira wines, like all Madeiras, can age for longer than almost any other wine style, so a surprising number of examples from its heyday in the 19th Century still survive.

Tasting Notes: 

Medium light amber colour with pronounced golden highlights. Clean nutty aromas, very agreeable light complexity. Medium dry in flavour, nutty and slightly complex, with a good clean finish. Brilliant wine - a good quality young Madeira in evolution.

Sandeman Madeira Rainwater is made in the traditional manner on the Atlantic island of Madeira. The rich soil and volcanic subsoil give this wine a unique character which is enhanced by the winemaking and ageing in «estufas». It is light in body but full in flavour, well balanced and a good accompaniment to many classic dishes such as soups and patés. It is also an essential ingredient in classic cuisine.
