1862 Madeira Apr Terrantez Fortificado

Description

The history of Madeira wine begins shortly after the discovery of the island that gives it its name, with records of the first productions and exports dating back 25 years after the island was found. On Madeira, vines are cultivated in small earth plots known as “poios,” supported by earth walls on the mountain slopes, which are often difficult to reach. The island’s unique soil and climate, together with the production process and the grape varieties grown, have contributed to the unrivalled distinction of Madeira wine over the centuries. In addition to these factors, 30 grape varieties are used in making this fortified wine, with the most esteemed being Sercial, Boal, Verdelho and Malvasia.
