Madeira

Madeira – the timeless wine from the Atlantic island

Madeira is no ordinary wine. This fortified wine from the Portuguese island of the same name in the Atlantic is among the most durable and characterful wines in the world. What makes it so special: it is deliberately heated and oxidized – a process that gives it its unmistakable depth, its nutty spice, and a longevity that hardly any other wine achieves.

Depending on the grape variety and aging, the style ranges from bone-dry to velvety-sweet. Dry varieties like Fine Dry are excellent as an aperitif or with savory dishes. Medium-dry styles like Verdelho or Rainwater are versatile and accessible. The rich, sweet varieties – above all Malmsey – are classic companions to desserts or simply a pleasure on their own.
