1977 D'Oliveira Terrantez Madeira

Review Date: 10/2012Bottled in 2008 (which means it spent more than 30 years in cask), this is the sort of wine that everyone should drink once in their life. It has the classic green tinge of mature Madeira, as well as the marked acidity of the best examples. Savoury, complex and fine, this has a classic cheesy undertone, with mature, smoky, incense-like aromas and flavours.

Notes
D'Oliveira, officially known as Pereira D'Oliveira, is a renowned and very historic producer of Madeira with roots tracing back to 1820, founded by João Pereira D'Oliveira. The company is one of the few to survive from the pre-phylloxera era and remains family-owned, with its headquarters housed in 17th-century cellars in Funchal. D'Oliveira is celebrated for possessing one of the world's most extensive and unparalleled collections of ancient Madeira wines, some dating back to the mid-19th century. This incredible library of frasqueira wines, often bottled upon demand, includes legendary examples of Verdelho, Malvasia, Bual, and the rare Terrantez and Bastardo varieties, cementing its reputation as a guardian of Madeira's winemaking history.
