Explore the wine, discover the island
A reference work for those who wish to know more about Madeira wines. It is full of facts and figures, but also filled with corresponding tales, to give more historical, cultural and geological insights. The aim is to place Madeira wine in a wider context, together with wines from Porto Santo, Madeira still wines and Madeira Rum.

My motto: wine is culture in your glass
"I congratulate Jeroen Bronkhorst on his thoroughly researched, readable book on Madeira and its wines. Madeira wine can be a somewhat impenetrable subject - this book demystifies things in a clear and concise manner. The illustrations, old and new, bring the island to life. I commend it to anyone wanting to know more about Madeira".
