Madeira

The unique character of this fruit comes from Madeira’s famously mild climate and the richness of its volcanic soils. Equally decisive is the choice of grape variety. While more than 30 types are grown on the island, production today largely centres on the noble four - Sercial, Verdelho, Bual, and Malvasia - along with Terrantez and Tinta Negra. Among dry wines, Sercial is especially prized for its pale colour and smooth, refreshing profile, making it an ideal aperitif. Verdelho, with its golden hue and delicate flavour, defines the medium-dry style and pairs beautifully with food.
