Seller description

Generous type wine, very rare, over 150 years old. Considering the bottle age, has a liquid gap of about 8 cm. The story goes that Madeira Wine had as its main mentor the Infante D. Henrique who encouraged the cultivation of the Malvasia Cândida variety, originally from Candia de Crete, on the island of Madeira, which proved to be a success. In the mid-15th century, Madeira Wine was already exported whose export routes included Europe, where it was considered to be of greater refinement, having even arrived in the century to be used as a perfume for the handkerchiefs of the ladies of the court. The prestige of this nectar was that there are few references to it in the history, arts and legends of nations.
