D'Oliveira Malvazia 2009
Region: Madeira
Producer: Pereira D'Oliveira Vinhos Lda.
Why we chose this wine
2009: the year Barack Obama was inaugurated as the 44th President of the United States. A Madeira from this vintage carries that year within it: a wine that has matured patiently in cask for years.
Malvasia
The sweetest of all and mainly found in Santana and Sao jorge in the north with 36 hectares planted. It is definitely the most luscious grape with a nice balance between sweet and acid.
