Artur Barros e Sousa Lda located at Rua dos Ferreiros 109, in Funchal is a don't miss kind of place when visiting the island. www.vinhosmadeira.com
Edmundo and Artur are generous with their time and wine and have some specialties to sell at very reasonable prices!

I agree completely. This was definitely one of the highlights of the latest Fortification Tour. And I have 3 bottles of their Madeira to prove it! :D

Can only agree! On the occasions we visited earlier this year they were always so friendly and taking time to assist. If I could, I would buy a lot more ABSL bottles but the boys don't export! Well, they do send if you contact them but still....

All the best,

Niklas

I agree too! In last wisit Edmundo helped me to get two bottles of ABSL Bastardo in reasonable price (they don't have it anymore). [cheers.gif]

So interesting...... is it from the grandfather? I wonder if they have more. Must be quite a task to trace for them.

Congratulations. I love these guys and I am particularly fond of the extremely old (yet undocumented) wines but they are hard to come by these past 3 years or so.

You are very lucky, when I visited in '08 Artur said they were all out of the Bastardo. [rotfl.gif]
Being Madeiran, it warms my heart to still see Edmundo and Artur carrying on the Canteiro tradition. They are a treasure to the island and madeira.
