1986 Madeira Barbeito Fajã Dos Padres Malvasia Frasqueira Fortificado

Description

The history of Madeira wine begins shortly after the island that gives it its name was discovered, with records of the first productions and exports appearing 25 years later. On Madeira, vines are cultivated in small earth plots called “poios,” supported by earthen walls on the mountain slopes, which are often hard to reach. The island’s unique soil and climate, along with its production process and the grapes grown, have contributed to Madeira’s unrivaled distinction over time. In addition to these factors, 30 grape varieties are used to produce this fortified wine, with the most prized being Sercial, Boal, Verdelho, and Malvasia. The bottling year may not match the accompanying illustration.
