Madeira Collection

Located six hundred miles off the coast of Portugal, the volcanic island of Madeira served as an important seaport during the seventeenth century. Due to its unique location, the one time home of Christopher Columbus was politically exempt from the taxation of its exports.

One of these exports was wine, and though the wines of Madeira started out rather low in quality, they seemed a bargain to several markets, most notably the young American market. By the end of the eighteenth century, America was purchasing over one-quarter of Madeira’s total wine production. So much Madeira wine was being consumed in the colonies that it had become known as America’s wine. In 1776, it was Madeira raised to toast the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

The long, hot sea voyages required, had drawbacks, causing much wine to spoil. The constant vibration, excessive oxidation and extremely hot temperatures created in the steamy hulls of tall ships produced the worst possible conditions for transporting wine. In hopes of reducing such spoilage, wine merchants fortified their wines by adding strong alcohol brandy to each wine cask.

It was soon discovered, that not only had the fortified casks of Madeira survived the horrendous conditions of their voyage, they had dramatically improved! With this observation, the formula for producing one of the world’s greatest, most rare and most age-worthy wines had been cast.

In 1851, during the height of Madeira’s quality and popularity, a deadly mildew called Oidium all but wiped out the vineyards in three short years. Luckily, it was discovered, that sulfur applications eliminated the oidium. This is when the depleted vineyards of Madeira were dealt a second devastating blow, one that had ravaged all the great vineyards of Europe, phylloxera. Many decades would pass before the vineyards and production of fine Madeira would recover, but slowly, and gratefully they did.

Today there are several levels of quality for Madeira wine. The first of significance are varietal label 5, 10, and 15 year old blended Madeira. These wines are fairly available and represent great value and quality. It is however, varietal vintage Madeira that is this tiny island’s crown jewel. Vintage Madeira is produced in miniscule quantities and only reluctantly permitted to leave the island. Legally, vintage Madeira must be aged a minimum of two decades before being bottled, more often than not however, patient Madeira merchants choose to age their wines significantly longer before their release.

The Tinta Negra Mole grape is used for the majority of Madeira wines, but only the most noble grape types are used for producing vintage Madeira. They are - listed from driest to sweetest - Sercial, Verdelho, Bastardo, Terrantez, Bual or Boal and Malmsey or Malvasia.

For over a decade, The River Café has, in the words of The New York Time’s wine columnist Eric Asimov, “amassed an astounding collection of vintage Madeira.” It is with extreme excitement, pride, and privilege that The River Café offers this rare collection of vintage Madeira to its clientele.
