1955 Madeira Lsm Porto Santo Velho Porto

Description

The story 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 after its discovery. On the island of Madeira, vineyards are grown in small plots of earth, known as “poios,” supported by earthen walls on the slopes of the mountains, which are often difficult to access. The unique soil and climate of Madeira, as well as the production process and the grape varieties cultivated, have contributed to the unrivalled distinction of Madeira Wine over the years. In addition to these factors, 30 varieties are used to produce this fortified wine, the most noble being Sercial, Boal, Verdelho, and Malvasia.
