All Madeiras
On a similar latitude to Casablanca in Morocco, the subtropical island of Madeira produces some of the most idiosyncratic and long-lived wines in the world. Their wonderful style is ‘fixed’ by being heated, which in turn enhances their ability to age. Traditionally Madeira is produced in four styles of sweetness, ranging from Sercial, the driest, to Verdelho, then Bual and finally Malmsey, which is the sweetest. Time spent in barrel, often indicated on the label, rounds and intensifies the wine, while a ‘vintage’ Madeira must be aged for at least twenty years. Once opened, Madeiras will keep for months. Blandy’s and Henriques & Henriques are great names, but D’Oliveiras has an equally noble history and is making lovely wines.
