Madeira is a fortified Portuguese wine made on the island of Madeira, in the Atlantic Ocean. The wine is produced in a variety of styles ranging from dry wines which can be consumed on their own as an aperitif, to sweet wines more usually consumed with dessert. Madeira is a very robust wine that can age for decades, sometimes even over a century, and also be quite long lived after being opened.
