<p>In the glass, Cossart Gordon Verdelho Colheita 2008 Verdelho shows a bright topaz colour with golden hues. On the nose, it delivers an expressive bouquet of citrus zest, dried apricots, tropical fruit notes, and subtle oak nuances. The palate is dry, fresh and full-bodied, with crisp acidity balancing the fruit flavours and a long, clean finish. Perfect as an aperitif or paired with lighter seafood and savory dishes, this Madeira offers a modern yet classic expression of Verdelho that rewards both contemplation and enjoyment</p>

<p></p><p>Vinho da corda was one of the ways in which "liqueurs" were prepared before the arrival of brandy in the mid-17th century. The vines, once planted closer to the sea, were able to reach other degrees of ripeness, allowing for a naturally concentrated must. The technique consisted of first separating the flor wine, which was clearer and fresher, and then, from the last pressing, removing the "vinho da corda" with a more golden and loaded appearance, so fashionable at the time. This Vinho da Corda comes from the sunny vineyards of Porto Santo and shows the island's potential for these rich, authentic and naturally oxidative wines</p>

<p></p> <p>The founders of D’Oliveiras were visionaries that saw the true value of Madeira Wine: its ability to improve over time. Therefore they started storing as much Madeira Wine as possible, letting it slowly mature inside the barrels for future generations to be able to enjoy it further. For that reason, D’Oliveiras is the only Madeira Wine company that owns Madeira Wine bottles and Barrels from as far as the 1850’s that can still be commercially purchased.</p>
