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>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>
