The goal of the RWC historic series was to introduce a new generation of Americans to Madeiras magical quality: its astonishing bouquet, its glorious richness and balance, and its versatility as an aperitif, dessert wine and food wine.
With this in mind, in 1998 RWC began working with Vinhos Barbeitos owner, Ricardo Freitas, to create a series of Madeiras reflecting the style and complexity that enchanted our forefathers.

To emphasize Americas deep historical connection to Madeira, each wine in the series is named for a U.S. city where Madeira was popular in the 18th and 19th centuries.
Limited Release:
- George Washington Special Reserve: Created in conjunction with Washingtons home of Mount Vernon—with part of the proceeds going to Mount Vernon—this wine celebrates not only the Father of our Country, but also Washingtons deep love of Madeira. Working with historian Aaron Nix-Gomez, it was determined that Washington preferred “rich” Madeiras, and Ricardo Freitas pulled out the stops to craft a Madeira of surpassing elegance, with the sweetness reminiscent of a fine Bual.
Styles, from dryest to sweetest:
-
Charleston Sercial: This is the driest wine in the series and a wine that has been served throughout meals in America for nearly 300 years. “Like a salted caramel without its sugar.” -Alice Feiring
- Savannah Verdelho is simply incredible, its bouquet exuding orange zest and buttery shortbread with hints of ginger, milk chocolate, and almonds. Lightly sweet with zesty acidity to keep it fresh, the palate reveals notes of candied citrus, ginger, and spicy honey. The finish sharpens all of the above into a refreshing and palate-cleansing blend of spiciness and citrus sweetness.
- Boston Bual boasts incredible balance and refreshing acidity. The hallmark of this wine is its otherworldly complexity, featuring cinnamon-clove spiciness with overtones of citrus peel and woodsmoke. There is just enough sweetness to excel as an after-dinner wine, but its long, dry finish also makes it work beautifully with food.
- New York Malmsey is "Incredibly rich, with dark fruitcake flavors and dry spice that balances its sweetness...” -Food & Wine Magazine
