Madeira for the New Year!

About this episode

Jessica and Mark discuss Madeira, its wines, and the trends surrounding them as they welcome the New Year.

Join Jessica and Mark as they put a close to 2025 and welcome 2026 with an in depth discussion on Madeira, the island and its wines. Mark has been passionate about Madeira for over a decade, partially because it is under-appreciated and is often mistakenly lumped in with Port. They delve into all things Madeira: the dynamic of grower and producer, terroir of the island as well as of the cellar, the different production techniques, age indications, sweetness levels, and the cutting edge trends that we'll see in the coming years.
