5/ 5

<p></p><p>The founders of D’Oliveiras were visionaries that saw the true value of Madeira Wine: its ability to improve over time. Therefore they started storing as much Madeira Wine as possible, letting it slowly mature inside the barrels for future generations to be able to enjoy it further. For that reason, D’Oliveiras is the only Madeira Wine company that owns Madeira Wine bottles and Barrels from as far as the 1850’s that can still be commercially purchased.</p>

<p>"Tinta Negra dos Villões Estreito" is a unique, serene red wine (non-fortified), produced on the island of Madeira under the auspices of the Companhia dos Profetas e dos Villões.</p> <p>This project brings together the winemaker António Maçanita and the viticulturist Nuno Faria. The focus of the project is to showcase the potential of traditional Madeiran grape varieties in table wines outside of the traditional fortified Madeira Wine circuit. "</p> <p>Tinta Negra dos Villões - Estreito" comes from a small parcel of old vines over 60 years old in the Estreito de Câmara de Lobos, which displays the full potential of this variety on the South coast of the Madeira Island.</p>

<p></p><p>This wine was filtered and does not require decanting. It was bottled ready for drinking and will keep well once opened. It is excellent as an aperitif but is also well suited with dishes such as onion soup, roast game and caramelized vegetables, Peking duck or cheeses such as Parmesan.</p>
