Madeira J.H.Gonçalves Verdelho (Gargalo Empalhado) 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 twenty‑five years later. On Madeira, vineyards are grown in small earth plots known as “poios,” supported by earth walls on the often inaccessible mountain slopes. The island’s unique soil and climate, together with its production process and the grape varieties grown, have contributed to the unmatched distinction of Madeira wine over the ages. In addition to these factors, 30 varieties are highlighted for producing this fortified wine, the most noble among them being Sercial, Boal, Verdelho, and Malvasia.
