1947 Madeira Reserva Da Delegação Fortificado

Description

Legend says that Infante D. Henrique was the chief mentor of Madeira wine, encouraging the cultivation of the Malvasia Cândida grape—originally from Candia in Crete—on the island of Madeira, a venture that proved a great success. By the mid‑15th century Madeira wine was already being exported, with trade routes that included Europe, where it was prized for its refinement and even used as perfume on the court ladies’ scarves. The prestige of this nectar was such that it is frequently referenced in history, the arts, and the legends of various nations. The bottling year may not match the accompanying image.
