Finding and buying Madeira isn’t easy, especially not if you’re in search of something older than 3 years.  With an annual production around 4 million liters and just a fraction of that being vintage and colheita wines, you quickly realize one has to be a detective to track down good Madeira bottles. Below you will find retailers with an assortment worthy a mention, not only  a couple of bottles. Some deserves a medal for their efforts as well…..
