Perhaps the most versatile wine available to the wine and cooking enthusiast, Belém’s Madeira Meio Seco is equally at home in the glass or in the pan. Roasted nuts and toasted brioche; tangerine and caramelized orange; coffee grounds and sweet tobacco: Belém’s Madeira Meio Seco exhibits impressive vinous concentration, seamless integration and bright transparency.
Enjoy with nuts and hard cheeses; savory soups and seafood chowders; and with salmon, tuna and all manner of game. Needless to say, the synergy between wine and dish is enhanced when you cook with it, too. At just 17% abv (compared to a more typical 19–20%), it is the best Madeira you can cook with, and the only one you should drink while you do.
