Just taste the wines mentioned above and you will understand. The consumer gets a real indication and taste what twenty years actually does to a good Madeira. The recently released 20 Years Old Verdelho from Henriques \u0026amp; Henriques certainly shows that. Humberto Jardim at H\u0026amp;H has been leading the trend and the Verdelho is such an elegant glass. Again, the trademark of the grape is its ability to retain its fruitiness even with age. Gentle spices, some nutmeg, lime peel, smoky oak and sugar cane syrup. Quite a complex sniff. Let’s gear up! The taste is even better with subtle notes from the oak aging; vanilla, tobacco and walnuts. Then the freshness, the acidity which masks the sweetness. Dust, smoke and walnuts. A dash of ground coffee. Pears in syrup. Long, lingering aftertaste.The H\u0026amp;H Verdelho is of such quality that I’ve actually tasted some vintage wines not reaching the same standard. But then again; Madeira has never been better than it is today. Remember that when staring yourself blind on age sometimes. Don’t forget to pick up wines like the 20 Years Old Verdelho. Otherwise there’s a risk the trend will fall into oblivion and not being produced any longer. Believe me, you don’t want that to happen. The 20 Years Old wines are here to stay!\"","brand":"Henriques \u0026 Henriques","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43298577842414,"sku":"10355-750","price":168.08,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/7468\/3630\/products\/9805e5a3-5a61-ed11-ab3d-0ac90280dbea_10355-750.png?v=1668128534"},{"product_id":"henriques-henriques-malvasia-20yo-nv","title":"Henriques \u0026 Henriques Malvasia 20Yo NV (750ml)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis mindbogglingly complex Malvasia (weighting in at 20.45 alc\/vol and just over 100 grams of residual sugar, balanced by delicious mouth-watering acidity) has been matured using the traditional Canteiro method in Henriques' purpose built lodges in Camara de Lobos.

Quinta do Passadouro dates back to the 18th century and has long been highly regarded for both its Ports and table wines. The property is in the Cima Corgo sub-region, close to the village of Vale de Mendiz in the heart of the demarcated Douro region. Since 1991, the estate has been well-run by the Bohrmann family (who also own a domaine in Meursault), and for a while, Dirk Niepoort was in charge of the winemaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"richp\"\u003eQuinta do Noval’s Managing Director, Christian Seely, has this to say of the purchase: “The vineyard of Passadouro consists of two principal parcels. One parcel is in the Pinhão Valley (on schist), where most of Noval’s vineyard is situated, and ranks among the greatest vineyard terroir of the Douro Valley. The other parcel is in the Roncão Valley.” Seely adds that the Quinta do Passadouro brand and its staff will be maintained so that the longstanding reputation of the estate will continue under the new ownership.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"richp\"\u003ePassadouro is a blend of Touriga Nacional, Touriga Francesa, Tinto Cão, Sousão and Tinta Roriz, cropped from vines ranging in altitude from 100 to 300 metres above sea level. Made in roughly the same traditional fashion as Noval’s own Vintage Port, the style here—while also one of class and sophistication—is more medium-bodied, youthfully buoyant and immedicably approachable than the Noval. This is a charming and relatively open-knit 2017. It’s ripe and fleshy in style with a velvety cherry fruit profile, fused with notes of cola and cacao nibs. The palate is seductive and classy with a well-defined, elegant structure and refreshing, polished acidity. It closes with a wave of cherry richness resurfacing on the finish.

The wine is called Nacional (i.e. national) because it is produced exclusively from ungrafted vines (i.e. vines on their original rootstocks and therefore directly in touch with the soil of the nation). The yields of these vines are minuscule (around 15 hl\/ha), and the tight bunches of small, deeply coloured grapes produce a massively profound yet sublimely refined Port.

The production of the 1900 Solera was as follows: the cask was laid down in 1899, and in 1900, a tenth of the volume was replaced with the same amount of a younger wine. This was repeated another nine times until the whole cask volume was changed over once. The solera was then closed. The 11 different wines harmonise over the years and provide a good mixture of the depth of old wines and some freshness of the younger wines. Having said that, this “freshening” is not really required with Madeira as the wines start with such high acidity–here, the solera process is designed to add complexity and control the oxidation process. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe year named on the bottle indicates the starting date of the solera, in this case, 1900, released in 1999.
