October brought us lots of news from the island of Madeira, and some of it you really won't want to miss!
Henriques & Henriques has launched two 15-year-old wines at opposite ends of the sweetness spectrum. A sweet Malvasia and a dry Sercial. Choose your favourite style and enjoy the quality of a Madeira aged for 15 years under very special conditions, which makes Madeira wines absolutely unique in the world.
Have you heard of Frasqueiras? These are wines with an indication of the year of harvest and recommended grape variety, produced by the canteiro process and subjected to a minimum of 20 years of continuous ageing in wood, which present organoleptic characteristics of exceptional quality. In short, they are the pinnacle of Madeira wines! In recent weeks, we have received several new additions to this category, starting with the distant Henriques & Henriques 1932 to the more recent Blandys 1996.
With over five centuries of history, Madeira wine is an iconic wine, used to celebrate the independence of the United States on 4 July 1776.
A special wine with unique characteristics, largely due to the island's very particular conditions and the unique production method, which produces wines of high freshness, marked acidity, great complexity, with a vast bouquet of aromas, especially typical of the ageing process (walnuts, hazelnuts, figs, raisins, vanilla, orange peel, chocolate, honey...), These are complex, rich, intense wines with enormous longevity, highly resistant and unforgettable.
Take a look at our suggestions for today and don't miss a thing!
