On the island of Madeira, those from Porto Santo are called “Profetas" (prophets). This nickname is a response to “Villões” (villains), which the people of Porto Santo call Madeirans, that come from the name "vila" (city) which gained a double connotation.
The wines of Profetas e Villões are, therefore, something that could only have been born on these islands, like their audacious nicknames.
The challenge thrown at António Maçanita came from Nuno Faria, partner of the restaurant 100 Maneiras, from Madeira and with a history in Porto Santo, where he spends his holidays since he was a child. When confined during the beginning of the pandemic on the island, he shared with António Maçanita the enchantment for these creeping vines with white walls.
