1912 Madeira Adega Exportadora Dos Da Madeira Verdelho Fortificado

Description

It is said that Madeira wine’s chief mentor was Prince Henry, who promoted the cultivation of the Malvasia Candida grape—originally from Candia in Crete—on the island of Madeira, a venture that proved a success. By the mid‑15th century, Madeira wine was already being exported along routes to Europe, where it was prized for its refinement and even used as perfume for the court ladies’ handkerchiefs. The prestige of this nectar is such that references to it are common in history, the arts, and the legends of various nations. The bottling year may not match the image shown.
