<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>

<p></p><p>At room temperature, or just a little cooler, this wine makes a wonderful aperitif, especially when served with salted almonds, olives or nuggets of Parmesan. It is also excellent when served with starters such as pat foie-gras, duck confit, welsh rarebit, game terrine or Yorkshire Pudding and onion gravy.</p>
