Tasting Notes
With 171g of residual sugar, this is the oldest Malvasia from Pereira D'Oliveira still in cask. Lush, silky, rich and decadent, yet fresh and focused, this Malvazia has Incredible balance, vibrant acidity, and a multitude of flavours including caramel, ginger, dates, clove and honey, with a gorgeous finale that just persists with no apparent end.
