Madeira News: “When you drink Madeira Wine, you are drinking history!”
“Madeira is uniquely a wine of history: not only because of its historic production process and its association with famous historic events, but also, and more importantly, because it is the longest-lived wine in the world, that can remain vibrant, complex and exciting after a century or more. Which explains why, when you drink Madeira, you are drinking history.”

Ponta do Pargo, Calheta Chapel
“Dá-se o nome Cabo a este sitio pois antigamente era utilizado um cabo como elevador para transportar uvas de terrenos junto ao calhau deste mesmo sitio! A construção desta capela data do ano de 1950. Uns metros abaixo onde antes existia um cabo, existe um miradouro com uma vista deslumbrante.”
