Profile & Story
Pereira D'Oliveira, the family-run Madeira house founded in 1820, is particularly noted for its Verdelho bottlings, aged in cask in keeping with the firm's belief that Madeira develops best in wood. Verdelho sits at the medium-dry point of the traditional Madeira style range, and D'Oliveira's versions are prized within the trade for the grape's characteristic tension between ripeness and cutting acidity.
Tasting Notes
Medium-dry in style, D'Oliveira's Verdelho Madeiras are known for their knife-edge balance of sweetness and racy acidity, typically showing notes of toasted nuts, dried citrus peel and a smoky edge over a firm, mineral backbone and a long, savory finish.
Pairing Recommendation
Verdelho's balance of sweetness and acidity makes it a versatile food wine, classically served with richer savory dishes such as soup and roasted or grilled meats.
