Q

History and process

A

Island of Madeira was an important resupply point for ships en route to the Far East or the Americas. Ships took aboard local wines which were fortified so they wouldn’t spoil on the voyage. The time spent in the stiffing hot cargo hold of the ship sailing through the tropics did something to the wine that improved the quality, resulting in caramelized, nutty flavors. Maderization was used to describe this process.
