Madeira wine
September 26th, 2006
Madeira wine a product well known to the world, has been an important product to Madeira’s economy since the time of the first settlers in 1418.
For it`s importance to Madeira, Madeira Wine has been commemorated for many centuries through the Madeira Wine Festival. It happened this year between the 1st and the 5th of September. It starts with the grape harvest, plenty of traditional Madeira folk music and dance. Definitely a festival to wait for next year.
Madeira Wine can be split into four main categories:
Verdelho - Golden colour, its a sweet wine with a dry touch and nutty flavour.
Sercial - From Full golden to very pale, it is the driest of Madeira wines.
Bual - Golden brown in colour, its sweet, full-bodied, fruity and rich.
Malmesy - Golden colour, dark, rich, liquer like, light and fresh.
