Description
In a nutshell:
Deep golden brown in colour, this is a full bodied, soft and rich Madeira. (Half Bottle)
The lowdown:
Made predominantly from Tinta Negra Mole grapes the fermenting juice is fortified before undergoing a maturation process unique to Madeira - the Estufa system. During a period of around 3 months the wine is gradually heated to over 40°C before being allowed to cool. After this it's aged for three years in oak before bottling. Richly full bodied and warmly soft in texture it's full of ripe notes of toffee, coffee, molasses, and chocolate.
The Producer:
Based in the island's capital Funchal, Pereira d'Oliveira is one of the great old Madeira houses and dates back to 1820 when it was founded by Joao Pereira d'Oliveira. Today it is run by fifth generation descendants Anibal, Luis and Felipe d'Oliveira. 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. These are left to mature slowly in 600 litre pipes and are bottled to order when required and are well worth looking out for. With two centuries of accumulated experience of wine making their aim is to produce wines of exceptional balance that characterised by aromatic complexity while remaining fresh and well textured.
When to drink:
Full bodied, yet welcomingly soft it signs of with a long sweet finish. Works well as an after dinner drink with sweet, ripe fruits.
