A 2000 vintage Madeira from Pereira d'Oliveira, made exclusively with Malvasia grapes. The palate is rich and nutty, with notes of chestnuts, dried fruit, clove and dates.
The venerable company of Pereira D’Oliveira was founded in the 1880s by an important landowner and grower in São Martinho, João Pereira D'Oliveira. While it is still owned and managed by the same family, D’Oliveira has grown substantially over the decades, as it has absorbed other shippers, either by marriage or acquisition.
The first expansion came in the early 1930s, when João Pereira’s grandson, Agostinho, married into the Camacho family, adding the assets of the João Joaquim Camacho & Sons wine exporting firm.
