DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
Rainwater is a soft, well balanced and pleasant, medium-dry wine from the Verdelho grape. The name, so the story goes, comes from a time when shipments of Madeira were left awaiting pickup on one of the island's beaches, during which time the barrels absorbed water during rain showers.
This diluted the alcohol and created a less powerful wine. Today Rainwater is simply made without fortifying the Madiera base wine as much as the typical, sweeter, more alcoholic style. This wine shows exotic fruit with a crisp, clean finish. It is a particularly nice match to coconut dishes.
Food Pairings - Shellfish and white fishes grilled or sautéed. Roasted or grilled vegetables. Pesto on pasta or gnocchi.
