Madeira C.R. Gonsalves Sercial (Garrafa Empalhada) Fortificado

Descrição

It is said that the history of Madeira wine was largely shaped by Prince D. Henrique, who encouraged the cultivation of the Malvasia Cândida grape, originally from Candia in Crete, on the island of Madeira, a venture that proved successful. By the mid‑15th century, Madeira wine was already being exported, with trade routes that included Europe, where it was considered a refined delicacy, even used as perfume for the court ladies’ handkerchiefs. The prestige of this nectar was such that it frequently appears in history, art, and the legends of several nations.
