<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>

It is a unique landscape and characterized by the rugged orography of the relief. Particular soil conditions of volcanic origin, mostly basaltic, and proximity to the sea, associated with the climatic conditions, where the summers are hot and humid and the mild winters, give the wine unique and unique characteristics</p>

<p>On the nose, the Cossart Gordon Bual Colheita 2006 Madeira presents an amber colour with golden hues, brilliant and crystalline. Aromas are intense and distinctive, with notes of dried fruits and candied fruits, subtle spice, and biscuit. On the palate it is medium-rich, very balanced and delicate, culminating in a long, sumptuous finish with flavours of spices, figs, and candied dates macerated in brandy. Alcohol is 19% ABV, offering a decadent yet well-tempered sweetness that makes it a perfect contemplative wine, ideal after dessert or enjoyed slowly on its own.</p>
