Rainwater is medium dry pale Madeira that is delicious taken chilled before meals but also goes well with dessert. It¡¯s elegant and refined bouquet has made it a universal favorite. Blandy's Rainwater Madeira is a medium-dry, pale fortified wine from Madeira, Portugal, crafted primarily from Tinta Negra grapes. It undergoes a traditional "estufagem" process, where the wine is cyclically heated and cooled over three months, followed by aging in American oak casks for three years. The result is a supple and lush profile with flavors of pear, apricot, and baked apple, complemented by a rich, buttery finish. This elegant and refined Madeira is best enjoyed chilled as an aperitif or paired with desserts and cheeses. It is ready to drink upon release and can be kept for several months after opening without the need for decanting.
