Madeira Adega Exportadora Dos Da Madeira Genuine Medium Rich Fortificado

Description

It is said that the main mentor of Madeira wine was Prince Henry, who encouraged the cultivation of the Malvasia Cândida grape, originating from Candia in Crete, on the island of Madeira, which proved to be a success. By the mid‑15th century, Madeira wine was already being exported along routes that included Europe, where it was considered a refined beverage, even used as perfume for the ladies' scarves at court. The prestige of this nectar was such that references to it are common in history, the arts, and the legends of some nations. The bottling year may not match the image shown. (illustrative image only)
