Madeira is a type of fortified wine that originated on the island of Madeira, located off the coast of Portugal. Madeira wine is made by adding brandy to the wine during fermentation, which stops the process and leaves residual sugar in the wine, resulting in a sweet and rich flavor profile. Madeira wine is typically aged for long periods of time in oak barrels, which can add additional flavors and aromas such as caramel, vanilla, and spice. Madeira wine comes in a range of styles, from dry to sweet, and can be made from several grape varieties, including Sercial, Verdelho, Bual, and Malmsey. Madeira wine is often enjoyed as a dessert wine, paired with rich chocolate or fruit-based desserts, and can also be used in cooking, particularly in savory dishes such as stews and sauces.
