NV The Rare Wine Co. Historic Series Baltimore Rainwater Special Reserve, Madeira, Portugal Oakville Blend: 93% Sauvignon BlancWinemaker Notes: Rainwater took its name from its pale color and delicate texture and flavor. Yet, the origins of the style are shrouded in mystery. Some attributed it to a Savannah wine merchant after the Civil War, but that cannot be, as Rainwaters existed at least a half century earlier. Others said Rainwaters were a freak of nature. Noel Cossart credited his own firm with creating Rainwater in the 1700s, after a barrel of wine was left on a beach.
