Madeira Adega Exportadora Dos Da Madeira Extra Seco Fortificado

Descrição

It is said that the principal mentor of Madeira wine was Prince D. Henrique, who encouraged the cultivation of the Malvasia Cândida grape—originating from Candia in Crete—on the island of Madeira, a venture that proved to be a success. By the mid‑15th century Madeira wine was already being exported, with routes that included Europe, where it was considered the most refined, even used as perfume for the court ladies’ handkerchiefs. The prestige of this nectar was such that references to it are common in history, the arts, and the legends of various nations. The year of bottling may not correspond to the image shown.
