Weingut über: Boal Colheita

-- Weingut: Quality grapes from Vinha da Torre, located in Campanário. Grapes were pressed in a horizontal screw press. This Boal from Vinha da Torre is a very special vineyard, as the grapes produced there belonged to Mr. João dos Reis (friend of family). Nowadays the vineyard is cultivated by his sons. Since 2002, Vinhos Barbeito has continuously harvested in that vineyard located in Campanario, traditionally considered as the one where the Boal grape has been produced for the longest time in Madeira. A tribute to João dos Reis and his family, as well as to the friendship with the Barbeito Family, which grows stronger every year. In July 2022, 1.109 bottles were filled, all individually numbered.
