This is a very old Madeira wine,classified as "FRASQUEIRA" that was part of the wine collection of the family that own this wine company. It is made from boal, a noble grape variety in years when the quality is high and the harvest is excellent, using grapes from the best vines of Madeira Island
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>The Symington family, with Scottish, English and Portuguese ancestry has been present in the Douro for five generations — since 1882 — and through the current generation’s great grandmother, the family’s links to the wines of the Douro span 14 generations, to the mid-17th century and to the very beginnings of the history of Port</p>
<p></p><p>H.M.Borges was founded in 1877 by Henrique Menezes Borges, who dedicated his whole life to the search for a selection of wines produced in Madeira Island, in order to proceed to their aging. It is currently run by the fourth generation of your family.</p>
<p>Cossart Gordon Verdelho 10 Years Old is ideal for pairing with food. It shines alongside game dishes, spicy Asian cuisine, mushroom risottos, or rich terrines, while its freshness also makes it a refined match for semi-soft cheeses or roasted nuts. Serve slightly chilled to fully appreciate its depth, harmony, and refined structure</p>
<p>Visually, Cossart Gordon Sercial Vintage 1985 displays a golden topaz colour with old-gold reflections. On the nose, expect aromas of exotic smoky wood, very old brandy, and warming spices. Its palate is dry and fresh with razor-sharp acidity and a long, lingering finish featuring walnuts, aged brandy, and balsamic notes. A wine of purity and character, it’s best enjoyed as a contemplative experience—alone or paired with light desserts, nuts, or fine cheeses</p>
<p>In the glass, the Cossart Gordon Bual Vintage 1987 presents a topaz colour with gold highlights. The aroma is rich and complex with characteristic notes of toffee, wood, and vanilla, complemented by spices and dried fruits. On the palate it is smooth and concentrated, yet finely balanced, leading into a long, spicy aftertaste. With a texture that is both elegant and indulgent, it is a wine designed for savoring slowly — ideally with mature cheese or rich desserts</p>
<p></p><p>John Blandy, the founder of Blandy’s arrived in Madeira in 1808. In 1811 he founded his own business as a wine shipper and general trader, with brothers Thomas and George, and started to set the foundation for the family and the island itself with the production of the most famous and unique wine in the world – Madeira wine</p> <p></p> <p> </p> <p></p>
