1997 Henriques & Henriques Boal Vintage Madeira Wine

Henriques & Henriques 1997 Boal Madeira: A Rare Semi-Sweet Treasure

Discover the exceptional character of this aged Madeira wine from Portugal’s famed volcanic island. Crafted by the esteemed Henriques & Henriques producer using 100% Boal grapes harvested in 1997, this Fine & Rare category offering represents decades of meticulous aging in cask.

Indulge in a complex and pleasantly semi-sweet experience. Expert winemakers note captivating aromas and flavors of rich caramel, luscious dried fruits (think apricot and fig), and subtle hints of tobacco leaf. What truly elevates this Portuguese dessert wine is its remarkable freshness, achieved through perfectly well-balanced acidity. This vibrant structure prevents cloying sweetness and leads into an extraordinarily long and persistent finish, leaving a lasting impression of satisfaction on the palate.

With an alcohol content of 20%, this 1997 vintage Madeira is incredibly versatile. Enjoy it slightly chilled as a sophisticated after-dinner drink, pair it beautifully with blue cheeses or rich desserts like crème brûlée, or simply savor it slowly on its own as a contemplative treat. Its robust nature also makes it an excellent candidate for extended enjoyment after opening.
