Description
The history tells us that the main mentor of Madeira wine was Prince Henry the Navigator, who encouraged the cultivation of the Candia Candida grape variety on the island of Madeira, which proved to be a success.
In the middle of the 15th century, Madeira wine was already being exported and its export routes included Europe, where it was considered the most refined and was even used as a perfume for the handkerchiefs of court ladies. The prestige of this nectar was such that it is often mentioned in history, in the arts, and the legends of some nations.
