History

Pereira d'Oliveira is a Madeira Wine producer, independent, run by the descendents of the founding owners, owned by 3 brothers under the administration of Aníbal D`Oliveira and Luís D´Oliveira, who represent the fifth generation of knowledge and experience dedicated to the production, commercialisation and exportation of Madeira Wine.


In this company 5 producers/exporters of Madeiras are integrated, all being from families from the island, with the oldest being founded in 1820. In our warehouses you will find a considerable stock of old rare wines which are the result of valuable wine inheritance of the aforementioned companies, and which currently represent added value for Pereira D'Oliveira (Vinhos) Lda. All our products are commercialised with the name «D´Oliveiras» and the respective logo which has been duly registered.


Every year at harvest time, grapes are acquired from the various traditional and recommended castes from the wine growers located in different parts of the island, with the maturation, quality and alcohol level being controlled.


The headquarters and the department of tasting and sales, are in an emblematic, listed building built in 1619, situated in the centre of Funchal, specifically to the north of the Praça do Municipio at Rua dos Ferreiros 107.

Inside information

No other company on the island can boast such a wealth of great old Madeiras. These include five monumental Verdelhos from the familys own São Martinho vineyards, vintaged in 1850, 1890, 1900, 1905 and 1912. There are no finer examples of mature Verdelho in existence today.

Digging into the DOliveiras library, we can also find profound Malvasias (a.k.a. Malmseys) from 1875, 1895, 1900 and 1907; Buals from 1903, 1908 and 1922; and Sercials from 1862, 1875, 1910 and 1937. The family also boasts superb examples of two very rare grape varieties: Terrantez (1880) and Moscatel (1875 and 1900.)

Immensely Powerful Wines

 There is a definite “house style” to these wines. They have very powerful aromatics, great lushness and viscosity, incredible structure, and a tangy character that is essential to great Madeira.

Its no wonder that others in the Madeira trade consider these to be supreme examples of classic Madeira. In fact, during the 1970s and 1980s, when the Madeira Wine Co. (Blandys, Cossart, etc.) was beginning to run low on old vintages to sell, it was to DOliveira that they turned.

Like Barbeito, DOliveira believes that Madeiras age best in cask. Consequently, its old vintages are kept in wood, and only enough is bottled to meet short-term needs.

Adegas do Torreão

In the early 2000s, DOliveira had the good fortune to absorb a smaller house, Adegas do Torreão, whose legendary owner, Vasco Loja, had recently passed away. Like DOliveira, Loja supplied Madeiras to the major shippers. At the time of his death, his firm owned little bottled Madeira, but he did have some incredible wine still in barrel.

By buying Lojas stocks, DOliveira made several important additions to its portfolio, including a classic 1969 Sercial and one of the few examples of vintage Bastardo still in existence, from 1927.

More Recent Vintages

While DOliveira has many great old Madeiras, it also possesses one of the most impressive stocks of relatively young Vintage Madeiras, made since the 1960s. These stocks reassure us that, 50 years from now, just as today, DOliveira will be the reference point for Vintage Madeira.
