D'Oliveira Verdelho 1890
Region: Madeira
Producer: Pereira D'Oliveira Vinhos Lda.
VerdelhoThe grape used to make semi-dry wines comes mainly from the south, but also from Sao Vicente in the north. The general planting is about 46 hectares all over the island. The grape is very aromatic and frivolous and has great potential for acidity. Vintage Madeira 1890, made from the Verdelho grape. An authentic, traditionally aged Madeira in the medium-dry style, with the depth and complexity that only decades of cask ageing can bring.
