Introduction
The Young wine Region of Madeirense the future of winemaking on Madeira Island
Not only fortified wines are made on Madeira island, in fact for generations families have been making table wines for family consumption, as they play an important role on the table of Madeiran cuisine. Just as of 2008, the wine region of Madeirense DOP started commercializing small-batch table wines of Madeira. A wide range of grape varieties are permitted in the region, the most popular being the white grape Verdelho, making an excellent 100% mono-varietal wine. We will taste these young wines at Quinta do Barbusano, Antonio the owner has worked hard to create some excellent wines in a very special setting of the Sao Vicente Valley.
Madeira in a Land Rover along off-road trails
They best way to discover the nature of Madeira is in a Land Rover along off-road trails to see the lungs of this sub-tropical island. Stop at amazing lookout vantage points to admire the views along they way. A must when you come to Madeira is to take a Jeep ride with a local expert who knows the back roads!
