Complexa – a rare grape variety from Madeira
Character and wine style
Complexa is one of the few autochthonous grape varieties on the island of Madeira and is one of the true rarities in the wine trade. On Madeira, it is traditionally used for the production of Madeira wine – that unique fortified wine that develops its unmistakable character through controlled heat treatment. The result is wines with lively acidity, remarkable durability, and a taste profile that ranges from dry to sweet. Madeira wines are considered some of the longest-lived wines in the world – a pleasure that goes far beyond the ordinary.
Origin: Madeira
The Atlantic island of Madeira offers unique conditions for grape varieties like Complexa with its volcanic soil and mild climate. The wines from there carry the DOC seal and stand for strictly controlled quality from one of the most fascinating wine regions in the world.
