Sandeman Madeira Rainwater is a type of fortified wine produced on the Portuguese island of Madeira. This particular wine is called "rainwater" because it has a lighter, more delicate style compared to other Madeira wines that are heavier and more full-bodied. It is made from the Tinta Negra grape, which is the most widely planted grape variety in Madeira, and it is aged in oak casks for at least three years.

Sandeman Madeira Rainwater has a pale amber color and a smooth, slightly sweet taste with notes of caramel, nuts, and dried fruit. It is typically served chilled as an aperitif or dessert wine, and it pairs well with a range of foods, including cheese, nuts, and chocolate. Because of its lighter style, it is also a popular choice for cocktails, particularly for those looking to add a hint of sweetness and complexity to their drinks.
