D’Oliveiras 1850 Verdelho Vintage; A Divine Experience
Somebody smart once said that wine is bottled poetry. Let’s call this intelligent dude Robert Louis Stevenson. Robert was born in 1850, the same year as Wagner’s opera Lohengrin premieres. I think he was a little bit too generous there, the author behind Long John Silver. Not all wine is bottled poetry. A majority [...]

Pereira d’Oliveira: 1932 Verdelho [vehr-DEH-lyoh]
“It’s actually the first time we’ve bottled it,” says Luís d’Oliveira.
“Around 78 years in cask. It was showing really well so we bottled it earlier this year.”
It’s good to be back again. At the old warehouse in Rua dos Ferreiros 107, meeting Aníbal and Luís d’Oliveira. This time my [...]
1907 Malvazia, d’Oliveiras – an intimidating wine?
While d’Oliveiras 1907 Malvazia (bottled in 2003) started its life 1907, Grieg’s ended. Few composers has attained such popularity as Edvard Grieg and I wonder if there’s any classic composer whose music has seen so many covers by modern bands? In Suite Nr.1 of Peer Gynt you will find the perhaps two most [...]
