Henriques & Henriques has established an impeccable reputation as one of the top sources of high quality Madeira. It is the leading independent Madeira shipping house and practises an uncompromising devotion to the quality of its vineyards and wines.

Vintage Madeira, or Garrafeira, must be aged for at least 20 years in cask and a further two years in bottle before release. Put simply, these compelling Garrafeira wines can be considered Henriques’ Grand Cru offering.

This medium dry wine has evident notes of tropical fruits and also candied orange peel, peach and apricot. Sweetness and acidity are in good balance, with a long finish and a touch of piquant spices.

Reviews

“A wine made exclusively from grapes grown at H&H’s own vineyards at Quinta Grande, with a beautiful green, leafy yet slightly tropical lifted nose with a hint of wood smoke. It sings from the glass. Similarly complex on the palate with a greengage and grapefruit character (68 g/l residual sugar and 9.46 g/l acidity expressed as tartaric), in glorious balance that left me completely lost for words. Spicy and a touch phenolic with a toasted finish.”
