<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>Listrão dos Profetas wine comes from these old vines that are over 80 years old, in what is our first attempt at this unique terroir</p> <p>It presents pale yellow colour, intense nose, saline, mineral, notes of gunpowder and iodine. In the mouth, a full, textured attack, the aromas are repeated on the retronasal. Super persistent.</p> <p>An Atlantic wine from limestone soils, which calls for pairing with seafood, such as scallops, clams, hard-shell clams, which in their preparation include warm flavours, such as semi-fatty fish already with some intensity.</p>

<p>In the glass, Cossart Gordon Terrantez Vintage 1975 displays a clear, brilliant copper-brown colour with golden tinges and subtle green reflections. On the nose the wine is deeply complex: spices like black pepper, exotic woods, smoked nutshell and resin, along with macerated dried fruits in rum. The palate starts soft and sweet but then “explodes” into a long, fresh aftertaste full of spicy notes. The finish is vivid and almost salivating, inviting another taste – a masterful balance of intensity, sweetness, and acidity.</p> <p></p>
