What is Madeira Wine?
Madeira is a fortified Portuguese wine made in the Madeira Islands, an archipelago that lies north of the Canary Islands. Madeira comes in a variety of styles ranging from dry (Sercial), which is usually served as an aperitif; to sweet, which is typically served with dessert.
There are four major types of Madeira (ranging from sweet to dry) and named according to the grape variety used. Sercial is the driest, its grapes being the last to be harvested, and is nearly fermented completely dry with very little residual sugar (0.5 to 1.5 on the Baum scale). This style of wine is characterized with high-toned colors, almond flavors and high acidity.
Madeira Sercial is a name once seen on a great number of bottles shipped out from the Portuguese-owned island of Madeira. It signified, in theory at least, that the wine inside was made from Sercial, one of the four 'noble' madeira varieties.
