1870 Madeira J. Cândido Da Silva Sercial 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 25 years later. On Madeira, vines are cultivated in small plots of earth known as "poios," supported by earthen walls on mountain slopes that are often difficult to access. The island’s unique soil and climate, together with its production process and the grape varieties grown, have contributed to the unparalleled distinction of Madeira wine over the years. In addition to these factors, there are 30 grape varieties used to produce this liqueur wine, with the most noble being Sercial, Boal, Verdelho, and Malvasia.
