  • Porto Santo:
A

Madeira volcanic soils:

  • Saibro (decomposed red tufa),
  • Cascalho (stony soil)
  • Pedra molle (an arenaceous soil, of decomposed yellow tufa)
  • Massapes (clay resulting from the decomposition of dark tufa)
  • Porto Santo: volcanic and limestone
169
Q

Minimum Aging Requirements for:

Rainwater, Vinho de Canteiro, Vino de Estufagem, Colheita, Frasqueira, Solera, Age Indication, Extra Reserve, Special Reserve, Selecciondo, Colheita (Harvest), Frasqueira, Vinho da Roda/Vinho da Torno/Vinho da Volta

A

Madeira may not be sold until October 31 of the second year after the harvest.

  • Rainwater: maximum age of 10 years
  • Vinho de Canteiro: 2 years in wood, and may not be bottled for 36 months after the final fortification
  • Vinho de Estufagem: May be bottled after 12 months from the conclusion of the estufagem process
  • Colheita: May be bottled from Oct. 31 of the fifth year following the harvest
  • Frasqueira: 20 years in wood
  • Solera: Min. 5 years in the solera, after which 10% may be drawn off each year for a maximum of 10 additions
  • Extra Reserve: Madeira that is 15 years of age or older (but below 20 years of age) may use this designation.
  • Special Reserve (Reserva Especial): Madeira that is 10 years of age or older (but below 15 years of age) may use this designation. Wines of this category (and all older designations) are often made of a single noble variety, heated by the Canteiro method.
  • Reserve (Reserva): Madeira that is 5 years of age or older (but below 10 years of age) may use this designation.
  • Seleccionado: Such bottles are often labeled “Finest,” “Choice,” or “Select,” and include a blended wine that is at least 3 years old (but below five years of age). These wines are dominated by the Tinta Negra grape, heated in Estufagem and aged in tank rather than cask.
  • Colheita (Harvest): Colheita Madeira is produced from a single vintage (85% minimum required) and is aged for a minimum 5 years prior to bottling. It may be a blend or a single varietal wine. Colheita offers the consumer a “vintage” Madeira without the extended cask aging, complexity, or cost of a true Vintage Madeira, or Frasqueira. The word “harvest” is sometimes used in place of Colheita but producers are not allowed to use the word “vintage” on labels.
  • Frasqueira: Vintage Madeira aged for a minimum 20 years in cask. Frasqueira must be produced from a single “noble” variety. Since only a minimum 85% of the vintage is required, these wines are topped up with younger wines throughout the aging process. Vintage wines are produced by the Canteiro method and may be aged for additional time—sometimes decades—in glass demijohns after the period of cask aging. Frasqueira is the epitome of Madeira, and one of the world’s legendary and long-lived wines.
  • Vinho da Roda/Vinho da Torno/Vinho da Volta: An exceptional rarity, wines so labeled underwent an ocean journey across the equator. Shortridge Lawton, now a brand of the Madeira Wine Company, produced wines in this traditional style as late as the early 1900s.
  • Age Indication: Age is an indication of style, not the actual age or minimum age
170

  • Medium Sweet: 2.5 to 3.5 Baumé (54-75g RS)
  • Sweet: Above 3.5 Baumé (75g RS +)
  • Sercial may be dry or extra dry
  • Verdelho is medium dry
  • Boal is medium sweet
  • Malvasia is sweet
  • Terrantez is medium dry or medium sweet
171
Q

What % of a Madeira producers Solera may be drawn off each year?

A

A maximum 10% of a solera’s stock may be drawn off each year, and only 10 total additions may be made to each solera. Solera wines will be bottled with the starting date of the solera, but wines added to the solera may actually be older than the original wine—a solera on Madeira often served to extend the lifespan of a particular vintage, when there was little or no wine to sell in the following year. To accomplish this, producers refreshed soleras with stocks of older, rather than younger, wines.
