They are made from local grapes such as Sercial, Verdelho, Bual and Malmsey. Madeira wines are famous for their long life and unique taste, resulting from a specific aging process called \"estufagem\", where the wine is exposed to high temperatures for long periods of time. There are different types of Madeira wines, such as Sercial dry wine, Verdelho semi-dry wine, Bual sweet wine and Malmsey sweet wine. Madeira wines can be enjoyed alone or with foods such as seafood, cheeses and desserts.\u003c\/span\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"blandys-madere-malmsey-5-ans","title":"Blandy's - Madère Malmsey 5 ans","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eBlandy's\u003c\/strong\u003e have the distinction of being the only family among all the \u003cstrong\u003eoriginal founders\u003c\/strong\u003e of the Madeira wine trade to still own and operate their own business.
