Madeira 5 Years Old Medium Sweet Whatever the degree of sweetness, all Madeira wines have at least 20 grams of residual sugar, with the sweetest reaching 60 g/L. Its sweetness is balanced by good acidity, with a lingering finish as the wines age. Like all wines of this type, it is subject to the formation of a deposit with age, without affecting its quality. It should be served carefully, without shaking the bottle.
According to history, Madeira wine’s main mentor was Prince Henry the Navigator, who encouraged the cultivation of the Malvasia Candida grape variety, originally from Candia de Crete, on the island of Madeira, which proved to be a success. By the mid-fifteenth century, Madeira wine was already being exported, and its export routes included Europe, where it was considered a more refined wine and was even used as perfume for the handkerchiefs of court ladies. Such was the prestige of this nectar that it is often mentioned in the history, art and legends of certain nations.
