Reviewed October 2020
This sample of the 1978 Terrantez Reserva was showing nicely, offering up notes of warm spices, dried apricot, figs and raw cocoa. Medium to full-bodied, intense and nicely concentrated, it has racy structuring acids, nicely integrated sweetness and a bittersweet, somewhat phenolic finish. Characterful but somewhat rustic, it blossoms with aeration. (WK)

Notes

D'Oliveira, officially known as Pereira D'Oliveira, is a renowned and very historic producer of Madeira with roots tracing back to 1820, founded by João Pereira D'Oliveira. The company is one of the few to survive from the pre-phylloxera era and remains family-owned, with its headquarters housed in 17th-century cellars in Funchal. D'Oliveira is celebrated for possessing one of the world's most extensive and unparalleled collections of ancient Madeira wines, some dating back to the mid-19th century. This incredible library of frasqueira wines, often bottled upon demand, includes legendary examples of Verdelho, Malvasia, Bual, and the rare Terrantez and Bastardo varieties, cementing its reputation as a guardian of Madeira's winemaking history.
