Bernsteinfarben schimmert er im Glas, und sein Bouquet nach karamellisierten Dörrfrüchten verheißt eine verführerische Süße. Madeirawein ist jedoch mehr als nur süß; sein langer Abgang offenbart vielfältige Nuancen. Im neuen Baedeker Madeira erfahren Sie, was seinen charakteristischen Geschmack prägt, und bei einer Führung durch die Adegas de São Francisco können Sie mehr entdecken. Madeira-Weine sind nicht nur in Palästen und im Weißen Haus vertreten, sondern auch in vielen portugiesischen Haushalten, wo sie beliebte Aussteuer-Gegenstände sind. Die feinen Madeira-Stickereien haben ihren Ursprung auf dieser kleinen Atlantikinsel und erlangten durch Elizabeth „Bella“ Phelps 1851 auf der Weltausstellung in London große Aufmerksamkeit. Bewundern Sie die hohe Kunst der Herstellung dieser edlen Stücke in einem alten Stadthaus in Funchal! Zudem bietet Naturschützer Rafael Gomes mit seinem liebevoll restaurierten Fischkutter „Ribeira Brava“ Whale-Watching-Touren an, bei denen die Chancen groß sind, Meeressäuger hautnah zu erleben. Ein majestätischer Pilotwal gleitet scheinbar schwerelos durch den Atlantik, taucht auf und verschwindet wieder in den Tiefen. Solche magischen Momente stehen im neuen Baedeker im Fokus – genießen Sie sie und lassen Sie sich treiben!
