Madeira Cvm Casa Do Turista Boal Fortificado

Description

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