Madeira Cvm Torre Meio Doce Fortificado

Description

It is said that Madeira wine’s chief mentor was Prince Henry the Navigator, who encouraged the cultivation of the Malvasia Cândida grape, originally from Candia, Crete, on Madeira Island, a venture that proved very 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 a perfume for the court ladies’ scarves. The prestige of this nectar is such that it is frequently referenced in history, the arts, and the legends of various nations. The bottling year may not correspond to the image shown.
