Madeira Cask (225L) - Fresh Dumped

Madeira barrels offer a rare opportunity to work with one of the world’s most historic and resilient wine styles. Aged in a warm maritime climate using the traditional canteiro method, Madeira wines undergo a unique oxidative and thermal maturation that develops layers of depth and stability unmatched by other fortified wines.

Once emptied, these barrels retain concentrated wine character in their oak staves. Brewers, cider makers, and distillers can expect their liquid to pick up flavors that echo Madeira’s iconic profile: roasted nuts, dried fruit, caramelized sugar, citrus peel, and a gentle oxidative warmth. The oak backbone reinforces structure while carrying a subtle tang of sea-kissed minerality.

Whether aging a robust stout, barleywine, or whiskey, or adding a fortified twist to cider, Madeira casks lend both tradition and bold distinction to your lineup.
