PRODUCERS
d'Oliveiras
Founded in 1850, D'Oliveira is the second oldest company still active in winemaking. It is a relatively small company with a production of 150,000 l per year. Luis Pereira D'Oliveira is the fifth generation of the family to continue the wine business.
What is remarkable about this traditional house is their stock of 1.5 million liters of aged madeira. But even more remarkable is that this stock is in barrel and thus still improving. This unseen source of aged wines is a result of the decision to start exporting only in the 1970s. Before that, the wines were only sold on the island so the annual production never exceeded sales. Even today D'Oliveira has only a limited number of importers in the world, thus remaining the patron of his historic collection of old wines.
The oldest wines date back to 1850 and are delicious.
D'Oliveira's wines are "old school" with more oxidation and tertiary notes. However, because the wines are mostly recent bottlings, they have an incredible balance of candied notes and oxidative elements with good integration of alcohol.
