Rare Wine Co. Declaration of Independence Special Reserve Madeira
Created to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, this extraordinary Special Reserve Madeira pays tribute to the wine that famously toasted America's birth in 1776. Crafted by legendary Barbeito winemaker Ricardo Freitas for The Rare Wine Co., the blend combines five traditional Madeira grape varieties—Bual, Verdelho, Bastardo, Tinta Negra, and Sercial—including components as old as 80 years, resulting in remarkable depth and complexity. Medium-dry in style, it opens with aromas of orange peel, chamomile, dried flowers, warm spice and roasted nuts, leading to a palate of vibrant acidity, subtle sweetness, saline minerality and an exceptionally long, elegant finish. Rich in both history and craftsmanship, this limited-edition Madeira is equally at home alongside aged cheeses, roasted nuts, foie gras and fine desserts—or simply enjoyed on its own as a memorable after-dinner pour.
