Madeira Adega Exportadora Dos Da Madeira Malmsey (Cantil Empalhado) Fortificado

Description

It is said that the main mentor of Madeira wine was Prince Henry the Navigator, who encouraged the cultivation of the Malvasia Cândida grape, originally from Candia in Crete, on the island of Madeira—an endeavor that proved successful. By the mid‑15th century Madeira wine was already being exported, with trade routes reaching Europe, where it was regarded as a refined luxury, even coming to be used as a perfume for the court ladies’ scarves. The prestige of this nectar was such that it frequently appears in historical accounts, artworks, and the legends of several nations. The bottling year may not correspond to the image shown.
