Madeira Wine

Madeira is a fortified wine made on the Portuguese island of the same name. What makes it unique is a heating and ageing process that gives it exceptional longevity, a bottle can last for decades, even after opening.

Madeira ranges from bone-dry to lusciously sweet, depending on the grape used. Drier styles like Sercial have citrus and nutty notes, while sweeter styles like Malmsey offer rich caramel, dried fruit, and toffee flavours.

No, while both are fortified wines from Portugal, Madeira and Port are made differently and taste distinct. Madeira undergoes a unique heating process that gives it a characteristic caramelised depth not found in Port.

Unlike most wines, Madeira is remarkably stable once opened thanks to its fortification and ageing process, and can be enjoyed over many weeks or even months without losing quality.

Dry styles like Sercial and Verdelho pair well with cheese and savoury starters, while sweeter styles like Bual and Malmsey are excellent with desserts, chocolate, or enjoyed on their own after dinner.
