✨ Technical Specifications
Crafted by the historic house of Pereira D'Oliveira, this 10-Year-Old Medium Sweet Madeira showcases the island's unique winemaking heritage. The wine is aged using the traditional canteiro method, where casks are placed in the warm attics of Funchal to undergo a natural, slow heating process that mimics the historic ocean voyages of the 17th and 18th centuries. Sourced from steep, volcanic terraced vineyards overlooking the Atlantic, this medium-sweet expression strikes a masterful balance between rich, caramelized sugars and the vibrant, electric acidity characteristic of Madeira's volcanic terroir.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1850 by João Pereira d'Oliveira, Pereira D'Oliveira is an esteemed, independent family-owned Madeira house based in the historic center of Funchal on Madeira Island, Portugal. Renowned for its vast reserves of historic library stocks acquired through family heritage and the assimilation of notable historic lodges, the house practices traditional canteiro aging in seasoned oak casks, allowing natural warmth to slowly concentrate and mature the wines over decades or even centuries. Under generations of family stewardship, the house crafts exceptionally long-lived, complex fortified wines renowned for their vivid acidity and depth, spanning dry to luscious styles made from noble varieties including Sercial, Verdelho, Bual, Malvasia, and legendary rare bottlings of Terrantez.
