The Rare Wine Co. Historic Series is a collaboration between The Rare Wine Co. and Vinhos Barbeito. First conceived in 1998, the project’s goal was to produce a series of affordable varietal Madeiras with the storied flavor and texture of great vintage Madeira. This critically acclaimed entry entry, produced from Malvasia and Tinta Negre Mole and inspired by Gotham itself, is rich and powerful, with notes of gingerbread, cherry cola, cloves, figs, orange marmalade, espresso, and pipe tobacco. As rich as the wine is, it’s also lively buoyed by freshness and spices. The finish is long and lush, making this an ideal partner for rich desserts like cheesecake, chocolate cake, or pannetone.

Rare Wine Co. Historic Series

The Rare Wine Co. is recognized as one of America’s premier wine merchants, in the dual roles of national importer and retailer. They represent more than 30 iconic producers in the U.S. and vigorously champion several dozen others whose wines and philosophy they deeply admire  with an unparalleled library of wines dating back decades. In 1998, The Rare Wine Co. began a project with Ricardo Freitas of Vinhos Barbeito to create a series of moderately priced Madeiras with the aromatic fingerprint and classic flavors of far more expensive vintage wines. It took years of work, but in 2003, they began releasing the wines which are named in honor of American cities with strong ties to Madeira, which was at one point widely regarded as the most prestigious wines in the U.S. during the 18th and 19th centuries. Each wine in the series, New York Malmsey, Boston Boal, and Charleston Sercial represents a style of Madeira popular in the cities they're named after.
