VERY RARE OLD MADEIRAS FROM THE VIEIRA FAMILY
Favila - Goncalves & C.a Lda & Vieira family
This was the company partly owned by Manuel Jose Vieira, the other owner being Mr Goncalves. Mr Favila was the owner of various vineyards who had no heirs and left the vineyards to his lawyer Manuel Jose Vieira with the restriction to continue to use the name of Favila. The son of Manuel added the name Favila to his name, Manuels daughter Ema refused this. She later made wines under her own name. Favilla Goncalves finished its activities in the early seventies of the 20th century.
Ema Vieira Pereira was married to Mr Pereira and their son was Joao Manuel Vieira Pereira. The cousin of Joao, Agostinho Pereira Gouveia, managed the properties while he lived Lisbon. In December 2014 Christie’s NY offered the old Madeira collection from the Gouveia family at auction there were a relative large number of Vieira wines. Apart from this the Vieira wines are little seen.
All wines in this collection came from the old family home of Mrs Ema Vieira Pereira and originally belonged to her. It was special to go into the room where she lived to inspect and pack these old bottles. We were able to taste a number of these old wines and from the undated Sercial to the 1890 Malvasia all were of a high quality.
Lying in Corsham, Wiltshire (Octavian)
Moscatel, Câmara de Lobos 1870
Original corks and capsules. Bin soiled badly damaged labels. Levels base of neck or better
