Best Answer

It's spelt 'Madeira', and it's a fortified wine akin to port. It comes from the Portuguese island of Madeira, which is in the Atlantic Ocean.

Due to its special maturation process, which exposes the wine to high temperatures for a long period of time, it is very long lasting. Bottles up to 150 years old are available at auction (for a very high price).

Rather like sherry, the dryer varieties are often served as an aperitif; the sweeter versions normally serve as dessert wines.

It has a strong affinity for fruit, and is often used in fruit desserts.
