Madeira recommendations

Hi,

I’m going to Madeira next and would love to hear your recommendations please. Particularly lesser known producers and bottles.

I’m already planning to visit engenhos do norte and O’reizinho.

Thanks

Romain

PS: here’s some of bottles I’m planning on bringing back, I haven’t tried them all but quite a few already.

War noch nicht dort aber die neueste Folge des Rumcast widmet sich Madeira Rum. Einfach Mal reinhören.

Oder Mal hier schauen

The guide of Secret Rum Bar also seems quite good.

He is building his own stay over on Madeira now so in the future you can share a rum with him on the patio.

In case you need contact to Pedro (o reizinho) I could help with that, maybe also with Mario from William Hinton. But it seems you have the contacts already?

I can only say Pedro is doing the best possible job imho on Madeira, the others are okay-ish but far from great. Please tell him hi and give him a big hug from me. :grin:

But one big recommendation above all: go to pukiki bar. You will not regret it. Best tiki cocktail and rum bar with super sweet owners (cat included) on the island!

Und mein absolutes Highlight! Für 5€ pro Spieß gigantische Rinderspieße (Pinchos) beim Metzger frisch gemacht und dahinter dann über Holzkohle zum selbst grillen und 1,50€ Rotwein und 1€ Brotkorb
[7.1.2023, 13:52] Philipp Riehm: Muss man gemacht haben, lieber früher kommen da einfach das gesamte Dorf da hin kommt. Wartezeiten bis zu einer Std sind normal wenn man zu spät abends kommt aber es lohnt sich dermaßen
