Pairing Madeira wine alongside meat
Filet Mignon
Filet mignon with foie gras, served with Justino’s Boal 10 Years
Boal is the choice to accompany a filet mignon with foie gras and a rich sauce.
Boal is a sweeter Madeira and an interesting rich choice, as it does dry out with age and I am sure will work well.
Farmhouse chicken stew
Farmhouse chicken stew with champagne and ribeiro frio boleto mushrooms served with Verdelho or Medium Dry Madeira Wine
Here Verdelho is paired very effectively with a chicken stew and this shows what a super versatile medium dry white wine Verdelho is. This is one for a winters evening.
Lamb Chops in “jus” perfumed with mint, served with Boulanger potatoes and grilled chorizo

What Madeira wine to serve with lamb, well the answer is Boal, and quite a young Boal. Interesting as Lamb with mint and chorizo is a powerful dish and needs something that will work well with strong flavours……and the answer is Boal.
The versatility of Madeira wine with rich meat dishes is impressive indeed and the talent of Madeira’s chefs in producing these recipes is impressive and goes to indicate the wide ranging and wonderful cuisine available on this island.
