Description
Madeira
ABV 19.0% - 37.5cl
In a Nutshell:
Pale amber, nutty and tangy - a traditional dry Madeira with roasted walnut, citrus peel and rather more roundness than a Fino sherry.
The Lowdown:
For a mere three year old, this feels remarkably complete. D'Oliveira's 3 Year Old Dry shows why the old family house still sets the standard for authentic Madeira. Made mainly from Tinta Negra and matured in oak casks in Funchal, it has that pale amber colour and saline lift you might associate with Fino, though it's nowhere near as bone-dry. The flavour runs deeper - roasted nuts, orange peel and a faint caramel edge carried by bright, mouth-watering acidity. It's dry but not austere, the touch of sweetness rounding the tang and giving balance. Also widely used in cooking, where its freshness and nutty depth bring real lift to soups and sauces.
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:
Serve slightly chilled as an aperitif, or with almonds and cheese.
