Description
Madeira
ABV 19.0% - 75.0cl
In a Nutshell:
A full, rich and complex sweet, aged Madeira that's wonderfully smooth on the palate.
The Lowdown:
One thing that marks out Maderia wines is that they undergo a unique maturation process where they are naturally heated over a period of months to build concentration and consistency before being cooled prior to maturation. Ageing for a full 15 years allows it to develop a complex range of layers and textures that mark it out as a most distinctive fortified wine. Malvasia, a traditional Madeira variety it the main grape used in this blend and is best suited for making sweet versions of the wine. Dark golden in colour it has a noticeable viscosity and distinctive bouquet of dried fruits, toffee and warm smoky wood. Unmistakeably full and sweet on the tongue but with good balancing acidity it slowly meanders to a lengthy finish full of nuts and dark chocolate.
The Producer:
Founded in 1850 and still family-run, Pereira d'Oliveira is one of the great keepers of Madeira tradition. Step into their cellars in Funchal and it feels like time has barely moved on - dark old casks, heavy bottles and labels that look straight out of another century. They are one of the few houses to survive from the pre-phylloxera period and have maintained a stock of old and rare wines dating well back into the 1800s. While others have modernised, they've simply carried on doing what they've always done: maturing wines slowly in wood, bottling only when ready, and guarding one of the island's most extraordinary libraries of vintages. Less commercial than their peers, they remain custodians of Madeira's heritage and a touchstone for authenticity and age-worthy style.
When to Drink:
Made to accompany rich and sweet desserts and puddings.
