Welcome to Domaine Franey Wines & Spirits - Where Great Taste Begins - Free Delivery to the Hamptons
A medium-rich, fortified dessert wine from Madeira, Portugal. Made from the Bual (or Boal) grape, it occupies the "sweet spot" between the lighter, drier Verdelho and the intensely sweet Malmsey.
Flavor Profile: You’ll typically find concentrated notes of caramel, toffee, and vanilla, balanced by the hallmark high acidity of Madeira that keeps it from being cloying. Expect secondary hints of dried fruits like raisins, apricots, and orange peel, with a smoky, nutty finish.
Style: Medium-sweet and full-bodied with a dark amber color.
Production: It is aged for an average of five years in American oak casks using the Canteiro system, where the wine is naturally heated in lofts to develop its complex, oxidative flavors.
Pairing Suggestions: Because it balances sweetness with sharp acidity, it is highly versatile:
Desserts: Milk chocolate, fruit tarts, cakes, or nut-based desserts like almond biscotti.
Cheese: Excellent with hard cheeses or pungent blue cheeses.
Savory: Surprisingly good with foie gras, smoked salmon, or roasted meats with fruit glazes.
