ORIGINS
Winery: Justino's Madeira
Region: Madeira
Madeira is a fortified wine produced on the Portuguese archipelago of the same name, located in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Morocco. The island is known for its unique terroir, which has been used to produce wine since the 15th century.
Madeira has a long and storied history, with the first vines planted in the 15th century by Portuguese settlers. The island's unique climate and geography, with its steep slopes and warm temperatures, made it ideal for producing wine. The island's wines quickly gained popularity in Europe, and by the 18th century, Madeira was the oine of the most popular wines in the world. Today, Madeira is still produced in the traditional way, with the grapes grown on the island's steep slopes and aged in barrels for up to 20 years. The wines are known for their unique flavor and complexity, and are often served as an aperitif or dessert wine.CUSTOMER RATING
