Madeira Rcvnp Reserva Velha Fortificado

Descrição

It is said that Prince Henry was the principal patron of Madeira wine, encouraging the cultivation of the Malvasia Cândida grape—originating from Candia in Crete—on the island, a move that proved highly successful. By the mid‑15th century Madeira wine was already being exported, with routes that reached Europe, where it was prized for its refinement and even used as a perfume for the court ladies’ handkerchiefs. The prestige of this nectar was such that it appears frequently in history, art, and the legends of various nations. The bottling year may not match the image shown. (Illustrative image only)
