Henriques & Henriques Verdelho 10-Year Aged Madeira Wine

Henriques & Henriques 10-Year Aged Verdelho Madeira Wine – Rare Medium-Dry Port with Sea-Kissed Flavors

Producer: Henriques & Henriques
Region: Madeira, Portugal
Varietal: Verdelho
Aging: Minimum 10 years in traditional canteiro lodges
Alcohol Content: 20% ABV

Crafted by one of Madeira’s oldest wineries since 1880, this non-vintage Verdelho undergoes a meticulous canteiro aging process—stored upright in stone warehouses for decades—developing layered complexity absent in faster-aged wines. The result? A velvety medium-dry sipper (20% ABV) where sun-ripened citrus meets toasted almond and smoky coastal nuances from its decade-long interaction with Madeira’s microclimate.

Unlike mass-produced fortified wines or solera-aged ports that prioritize uniformity over character, this limited-release expression balances youthful vibrancy (tropical fruit zest) with mature depth (honeycomb reduction). Its olive-green rim and saline finish make it ideal for pairing with dark chocolate desserts or blue cheeses at special gatherings—where every sip tells a story of volcanic soil and Atlantic winds.

Ideal for collectors seeking non-vintage consistency or enthusiasts exploring Madeira’s terroir diversity. Ships chilled; cellaring further enhances its evolving flavor profile over decades without losing freshness—a hallmark of canteiro craftsmanship rarely found outside boutique wineries like Henriques & Henriques.*
