Humberto shares his in-depth knowledge of Madeira wine production, sales, its history, and the unique challenges of growing grapes on the steep terrain of the island. He explains how Madeira’s sub-tropical climate, combined with traditional winemaking techniques, creates some of the most complex and long-lived wines in the world.Throughout the conversation, Humberto provides a detailed look into the intricate aging process that defines Madeira wines.
