Miles Madeira Rainwater 750ml
Product Details
Topaz color with golden reflections. Characteristic madeira bouquet of dried fruits, orange peels and notes of wood. Medium dry at first, followed by an attractive freshness of citrus flavors, with a long, luxurious finish.
The “Estufagem” process is unique to Madeira and was introduced at the end of the 18th Century
to replicate and replace the typical ageing process at the time - barrels of wine in the holds of
the ships, sent on long sea voyages to the tropics in order to accelerate the ageing process.
Nowadays, this 3 year old Madeira is aged in stainless steel tanks. Hot water is pumped through
the 2 sleeves on the tank, taking the temperature of the wine up to 45°C | 113°F for a total period
of 4 months, transforming the primary aromas into the tertiary aromas – the Madeira bouquet.
The wines are then stored for a further 2 years before being bottled as a 3 year old Madeira.
The firm that was eventually to become Miles Madeira was originally known as Rutherford &
Grant, established on the Island of Madeira, in 1814. In 1878, James Price, surviving partner
of the firm, was no newcomer to the company for, in 1863 when only 12 years old, he had been
apprentice to Rutherford & Grant, having acquired sound knowledge and experience of the
working of the Madeira Trade. His sons and grandsons followed him in the business, and Miles
Madeira became one of the most respected brands of the island’s wine. Today it is synonymous
with excellent Madeira wine and has become one of the best known and most respected brands
in the world.
