Madeira
From the exposed Atlantic isles of Madeira and Porto Santo, this type of wine was discovered by chance thanks to unsold stocks of wine. Boats returning to Madeira from long sea voyages with unsold wine discovered that the ageing effect that the warmth below deck gave the wines an amazing and unique complexity. Today, Madeira is fortified with grape brandy from Portugal and then heated to around 120ºf for six months. The wine is then heated and cooled for six months at a time while it ages in large oak barrels. These barrels are large and old so they allow a slow and partial oxidation and don’t add any oak flavour or tannin to the wine – something that marks Madeira as unique when compared to its Port and Sherry cousins.
