1840 Madeira E. F. Hynes Bual Solera Fortificado

Descrição

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 appearing 25 years later. In Madeira, vineyards are grown in small plots of earth known as “poios,” supported by stone walls on the steep mountain slopes that are often difficult to reach. The island’s unique soil and climate, along with its production process and the grape varieties cultivated, have contributed to the unparalleled distinction of Madeira wine over the ages. In addition to these factors, 30 grape varieties are highlighted for producing this fortified wine, with the most prized being Sercial, Boal, Verdelho and Malvasia.
