1860 Madeira Artur De Barros E Sousa Malvazia Fortificado

Description

The Artur de Barros e Sousa Lda. company was founded in 1890 by Pedro José Lomelino and has always remained a family business, with Artur and Edmundo Olim—fourth‑generation descendants—standing out. It was the smallest Madeira wine producer on the island, annually producing between 8,000 and 10,000 litres, with a total storage capacity of 85 to 90,000 litres. Changes made to the establishment over the years were minimal, turning it into a living museum. The Madeira wines of Artur de Barros e Sousa (ABSL) are delicate and almost fragile in their structure, gaining a lot with age. In their youth they may appear simpler, but time adds complexity and depth. In 2014, Artur de Barros e Sousa was acquired by neighboring Pereira D’Oliveira, the current owner of the company.
