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>On the palate, Cossart Gordon Sercial 5 Years Old Madeira shows a topaz colour with golden reflections and a classic Madeira bouquet: dried fruits, wood, and orange peel notes.

With an alcohol content of <strong>19% ABV</strong>, residual sugar of ~<strong>35 g/L</strong>, and a total acidity of <strong>6.00 g/L</strong> (tartaric), it works excellently as an aperitif or paired with starters, white fish, or spicy/Indian cuisine.

On the palate, it is medium-sweet, smooth, and full-bodied, with flavours of dried fruit and toffee lifted by fresh acidity. The finish is long and elegant, making it a perfect choice to enjoy with desserts, fruit cakes, or to savour on its own as a contemplative wine.</p>
