Wine Description:
Henriques & Henriques 10 Years Old Malvasia Madeira is a remarkable fortified wine that showcases the oxidative nature of this unique style. Crafted in the beautiful isle of Madeira, this wine is made from Malvasia grapes. The vineyards benefit from the island's volcanic soil and the influence of the Atlantic Ocean. The winemaking process involves fortifying the wine with the addition of a neutral spirit, early in the fermentation to retain a large proportion of the natural sugars resulting in a sweet wine. The wine is then slowly heated and oxidized during the cycle of the seasons as it ages in large casks in the warm storage lodges on the island. With its marked sweetness perfectly balanced by vibrant acidity, this Madeira offers a truly indulgent and memorable drinking experience with lingering flavors of fig and coffee.
Pros:
  • Complex flavor profile with notes of fig, coffee, and brown sugar

Cons:
  • The rich taste and sugar level may be too sweet for some palates

Wine Expert Note:

The Henriques & Henriques 10 Years Old Malvasia Madeira is a fortified wine that offers a unique experience within the sweet wine category. With a brown color and a complex and enticing aroma profile with a symphony of dried fruits, such as raisins, figs, and dates, accompanied by hints of caramel and coffee. These aromas are further enhanced by subtle notes of orange peel and toasted almonds, adding depth and complexity to the bouquet. On the palate, the wine reveals a luscious and velvety texture, with a perfect balance between sweetness and acidity. The flavors of dried fruits persist on the palate and long finish. This Madeira pairs exceptionally well with a variety of chocolate-based creations. Its sweetness and complexity also make it a great companion to strong cheeses, such as blue cheese or aged Gouda. For a truly indulgent experience, consider enjoying it on its own as a digestif. This wine will keep for decades in the bottle but once opened is best consumed within 3 months.
