Madeira Adega Exportadora Dos Da Madeira Meio Doce Fortificado

Description

It is said that Madeira wine’s chief mentor was Prince Henry the Navigator, who encouraged the cultivation of the Malvasia Cândida grape, originating from Candia in Crete, on the island of Madeira, a move that proved successful. 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 ladies’ handkerchiefs at court. The prestige of this nectar was such that references to it are common in history, art, and the legends of several nations. The bottling year may not correspond to the image shown.
