This absurdly delicious fortified wine is made by Cossart Gordon, the oldest producer on the Portuguese island of Madeira. Aged for five years in oak casks, this Madeira boasts luscious flavors of brûléed grapefruit, candied walnuts, and tangy mango. Very citrusy and pure, with vibrant acidity that tempers the wine's sweetness. If you've never tried a good Madeira, give this winner a whirl!
