1912 Madeira Adega Exportadora De Da Madeira Verdelho Solera Fortificado

Descrição

It is said that Prince Henry the Navigator was the chief mentor of Madeira wine, encouraging the cultivation of the Malvasia Cândida grape—originally from Candia in Crete—on the island, a move that proved successful. By the mid‑15th century, Madeira was already being exported to Europe, where it was prized for its refinement and even used as perfume for the court ladies’ veils. The nectar’s prestige was such that it is frequently referenced in history, art, and the legends of various nations. The bottling year may not match the image shown. (illustrative photo)
