Madeira

Madeira, an Autonomous Region technically considered part of Portugal, is part of an archipelago in the Atlantic ocean, about 323 miles off the coast of Morocco. Known as The Pearl of the Atlantic Madeira has always been an important part of Portugal's economy and wine-making tradition. This island paradise is known for its Madeira and Madeira Rainwater fortified wines, similar to those of mainland Portugal's Ports. Madeira wines are actually heated up during their aging process to achieve complex and unique flavors that create subtle differences between Madeira and Port.
