Madeira from Madeira

4 Reviews

Intense and deep-coloured malmsey Madeira, showing complex notes of fig and walnuts on the nose and more than a hint of caramel and coffee on the rich palate. It goes so well with good Cheddar and, unlike the Duke of Clarence, who was drowned in a butt of it in 1478, you don`t have to drink it all at once: the opened bottle will keep almost indefinitely if kept in a cool place.

Henriques and Henriques

Henriques & Henriques is one of the most famous names on the Portuguese island of Madeira. Founded in 1850 by João Goncalves Henriques, the company has a rich history and a profound knowledge of the art of making Madeira wine. His sons João Joaquim and Francisco Eduardo (whence the name H&H) inherited the running of the business and began to concentrate on shipping their own wines rather than supplying other shippers. In 1968, as they had no heirs, responsibility passed to three friends and partners Peter Cossart, Alberto Nascimento Jardim and Carlos Nunes Pereira. Today it is run by the charismatic Humberto Jardim. They moved out of the capital Funchal in 1984 and into new premises in Camara de Lobos in 1992. Henriques & Henriques is the only producer to have continuously owned its own vineyards, including the largest vineyard on the island, but they continue to work with anything from 400 to 600 growers.

Madeira is very much a wine epitomised by its traditions, which winemaker Luís Pereira captures so well across the range. H&H produces the full range of styles from the drier, crisp Sercial through to intense and deep-coloured Malmsey, with a particular specialism in Verdelho and Terrantez. A limited amount of some rare single vintages, perfect for anniversaries, and colheita wines are also released.

Perfect winter fireside wine with citric fruit, caramel and dried fruits, it reminds me of Christmas - but not cloying with its perfect balancing acidity reviving the palate.

… has notes of mocha, butterscotch, walnuts and fig. I’d probably make a Madeira cake to go with this one – its dense texture and craggy, sugary crusted top tastes so good with Madeira the drink.

Go Madeira! This is one of those ‘everybody must savour’ world-class fortified wines. In a word: epic. In two: life-affirming. Plum pudding wafts beneath grilled walnuts, dried fruits, coffee, burnt toffee, Christmas cake, molasses and caramel; it lingers on and on. Full-bodied, luscious, sweet, delicious and tangy, it’s utterly dazzling stuff – and the well-judged, characteristically high acidity keeps everything in check. Spot-on for mince pies, Christmas pudding, chocolate coffee truffles, rich dark chocolate puddings and cheese. Once opened this will stay in good condition for months. It’s the definitive Christmas potation and a heavenly digestif so stock up now! This is also my desert island wine (and one of the most resilient in the world). Serve cool at around 13-16°C.

This rich, lusciousand sweet fortified wine always entrances my senses and explodes on the palatewith a fireworks display of toffee, nut, honey, chocolate, toffee, caramel andraisin fruit. It's a tangy full-bodied wine with supreme balance, poise and asearing finish, the quince-like sweetness offset by delightfully tangy acidity.Crack it open with a bar of dark / milk chocolate, a chocolate mousse or asteamed chocolate pudding and try again at Christmas - once opened, a bottle ofMadeira will stay fresh for ages - with Christmas cake, mince pies or Stilton.Long and very pure, this is a striking wine that shows its best between 13& 14°C.

Made from malvasiagrapes, this sweet madeira has a deep mahogany hue and evocative aromas of darkfruit, walnut kernel and coffee. There is also an attractive raisin character;lovely with cheese.
