Madeira is a fortified wine from the Portuguese island of the same name, made in a unique way that involves gently heating and ageing it. This makes it extraordinarily long-lived and stable — an opened bottle keeps for weeks or months, and the finest examples can last a century. Styles run from dry to richly sweet.
What are the different styles of Madeira?
They're traditionally named after their grapes, from driest to sweetest: Sercial (dry, tangy), Verdelho (off-dry), Bual (medium-rich) and Malmsey (sweet and luscious). Dry styles make a lovely aperitif chilled; sweeter ones are wonderful after dinner with cheese, nuts or chocolate. All share Madeira's hallmark high acidity and notes of caramel and dried fruit.
