The wine of Madeira

摘要

The general knowledge crossword in Melbourne's Sunday Age occasionally seeks a word for a 'heating process used in wine production'. While there are perhaps a few options, the one that came to my mind initially was the production of Madeira, although the crossword compiler required the specific name of 'estufagem' for the heating process. In reality, there are two versions of the estufagem process as well as another heating strategy known as 'canteiro'.
