Flagman's Madeira

Madeira is a golden-brown fortified wine from the Portuguese Atlantic island of Madeira, which has been known and famous for its wines for centuries. Many ships called at the port of Funchal on their way from Europe to India and also took barrels of wine with them, which interestingly tasted better after it had undergone the sea voyage through the tropics. To bring about a comparable maturation process, the trading houses developed so-called "estufas", rooms or tanks in which the wine is heated and thus a similar maturation process is set in motion.

The vineyards are laid out in terraces on steep slopes on volcanic soils. After harvesting and pressing the grapes, approx. 4-5% wine alcohol is added to the must – like other famous fortified wines – to stop fermentation and obtain a certain degree of sweetness. The wine gets its typical scent of caramel through storage for several months at approx. 50 degrees Celsius.

Madeiras are available from very dry to very sweet, their shelf life is almost unlimited if stored correctly (not too warm, no direct sunlight, best protected from light – this applies to every wine and most alcoholic specialties) and they are indispensable in fine cuisine. They are also an insider tip as an aperitif that is still not very widespread in Germany.

Casa dos Vinhos da Madeira

Casa dos Vinhos da Madeira – behind this name lies a story that reaches deep into the soul of the island of Madeira. As early as the 15th century, the first vines were planted in Câmara de Lobos, precisely where the Henriques family shaped the land for generations.

Since 1932, this heritage has been bottled: with Madeira wines that, thanks to their unique aging process, develop a depth and longevity unparalleled worldwide. No wonder the brand is now among the most renowned of its kind in Canada. Treat yourself to a taste of history.
