Voss Expert tasting note
On the nose, it offers a complex bouquet of dried fruits, such as raisins and figs, along with hints of caramel and toasted nuts. The palate is equally impressive, showcasing a harmonious balance between sweetness and acidity.

Yi-Yin
Opulent and detailed Madeira, with a mild dryness that belies its intense flavors. A glass of Rainwater reveals a light golden hue, at the same time aromas of caramel, almonds, and orange peel emerge, with a note of nuttiness. Its versatility makes it tailored for both an aperitif and a dessert.
Soumia
Concentrated and sumptuous fortified wine with a detailed and alluring flavor profile, featuring suggestions of caramel, hazelnut, toasted marshmallow, honey, and orange peel.
Lieneke
A decent Madeira, but not the standout I was hoping for. The rainwater feature was a nice touch, but it didn't quite live up to its promise.

This Madeira offers rich caramel, nutty, and citrus notes with a versatile profile praised for pairing potential, though some find its mouthfeel watery and finish diluted. While appreciated for warm oxidative character and dried fruit complexity, opinions vary on intensity and aging needs.
Henriques & Henriques Rainwater Madeira is a delightful fortified wine from the Madeira region. This wine exhibits a beautiful amber color with golden hues, enticing the senses with its inviting appearance. On the nose, it offers a complex bouquet of dried fruits, such as raisins and figs, along with hints of caramel and toasted nuts. The palate is equally impressive, showcasing a harmonious balance between sweetness and acidity. The flavors of dried fruits persist, accompanied by notes of honey. The finish is long and satisfying, leaving a lingering impression of richness and elegance. Overall, Henriques & Henriques Rainwater Madeira is a superb choice for those seeking a sophisticated and well-rounded fortified wine experience.
