Crossword Genius

Admire a complex wine (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

madeira

'wine' is the definition.
(I know that Madeira is a type of fortified wine)

'admire a complex' is the wordplay.
'complex' indicates an anagram.
'admire'+'a'='admirea'
'admirea' anagrammed gives 'MADEIRA'.

(Other definitions for madeira that I've seen before include "Sponge-cake" , "Dessert wine from a Portuguese Atlantic island" , "Portuguese North Atlantic island" , "Atlantic territory" , "Portuguese island, capital Funchal" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
