How to sell

Next to the Kassab wines, the Faja Malvasia 1914 in this collection is of special note, a rarely seen wine. The Fajã dos Padres is the most famous vineyard on Madeira located near Camara dos Lobos on the foot of a 300 metre high cliff. The Malvasia grapes from this vineyard have for centuries had the reputation of being some of the best on the island.
