Madeira Câmara De Lobos F.M. Sardinha Fortificado

Description

It is said that Madeira wine’s chief mentor was Infante D. Henrique, who encouraged the cultivation of the Malvasia Cândida grape, originally from Candia in Crete, on the island of Madeira, a venture that proved successful. By the mid‑15th century, Madeira wine was already being exported, with routes that reached Europe, where it was prized for its refinement and even used as perfume for the ladies’ gloves at court. The prestige of this nectar was such that it frequently appears in history, the arts, and the legends of various nations. The bottling year may not match the image shown. (illustrative image only)
