Madeira wines. in Delaware

Madeira PDO identifies fortified wine, distinct from the Madeirense PDO and Terras Madeirenses PGI used for other island wines. Heating and ageing methods such as estufagem and canteiro help develop its character. Sercial, Verdelho, Boal and Malvasia introduce familiar drier-to-sweeter traditions, while Tinta Negra can make several sweetness styles. Malvasia refers to more than one permitted variety. An age indication describes the certified wine category, not a single harvest year. Read sweetness, age and any vintage wording together.
