A mineral-driven Portuguese white wine from the high-altitude vineyards of Beira Interior.
Rui Madeira Beyra Reserva Branco 2019 is a vibrant, characterful white that really delivers in the glass. Tasted in September '25, it’s showing tip-top right now and immediately stood out as one of those “wow” wines. Pale lemon in colour, it bursts with fresh, complex aromas – ripe apple, cucumber (yes, really), sour lemon and sweet lime, all layered over a stony, lightly smoky mineral core. On the palate it’s energetic and playful, bouncing left, right and centre with bright citrus, crisp orchard fruit and mouthwatering acidity. There’s real structure here too, giving depth and balance, and making this a seriously good-value Portuguese white wine that’s as fun as it is impressive.

"This is one of those whites that really makes you stop and pay attention. It’s showing beautifully right now and offers so much wine for the money. It’s fresh, complex and a bit of a roller coaster in the best way. A brilliant choice for when you want a white that feels thoughtful rather than just refreshing."
Rui Madeira is one of the leading voices of the Beira Interior wine region, crafting wines that reflect altitude, native grape varieties and a strong sense of place. Working with old vineyards planted on granite soils with quartz veins, Rui focuses on purity, freshness and natural balance, allowing the unique terroir of this high, rugged landscape to shine through in the glass.
This Portuguese white wine is a brilliant example of why we love uncovering lesser-known regions. It’s fresh, complex and bursting with personality, offering outstanding value and a real sense of discovery for curious wine drinkers.
