Henriques and Henriques 5 Year Seco Especial Madeira
Winemaker: Humberto Jardim
Grapes: Tinta Negra
From the importer Haus Alpenz: João Joaquim Gonçalves Henriques founded the firm in 1850 as a partidista, supplying wine to other merchants from extensive Henriques vineyard holdings while continuing to amass significant stocks of old wines in the family cellars. In 1925, Henriques & Henriques began to bottle and export Madeira produced entirely from their own vineyards—an anomaly amongst producers on the island. Today, Henriques & Henriques is led by CEO and winemaker Humberto Jardim, one of Madeira’s great visionaries and ambassadors. The firm continues to source some of its needs from its own vineyards, most notably from a terraced, 10-hectare vineyard at Quinta Grande—the single largest on island, replanted in 1995.
From the The H&H Seco Especial (Finest, Dry) allies a nutty, smoky bouquet to a dry, energetic and expansive palette etched with flavors of roasted almond, mandarin orange and dried honey. Excellent as an aperitif, but with many additional possibilities at the table and on the bar.
