Saveiro Vento do Oeste Madeira Wine

Like the westerly trade winds that give ‘Vento do Oeste’ its name, this wine both affirms historic ties between the island of Madeira and America and elaborates upon them.  Where pipes (casks) of Madeira once sailed to the American colonies, bourbon barrels are now routinely shipped from Kentucky to the island for finishing, before traveling further along modern trade routes to distilleries worldwide.  Saveiro ‘Vento do Oeste’ Meio Doce (Medium-Rich) is bourbon-barrel finished madeira, the first of its kind on the island, aged for three years in a traditional manner before finishing an additional 12-18 months in used bourbon barrels.
