Henriques & Henriques 10 Year Old Bual Madeira is a beautifully aged fortified wine from the island of Madeira, Portugal, representing the rich medium-sweet style that sits between Verdelho and Malmsey in the classic Madeira spectrum.
Crafted from 100% Bual (Boal) grapes, this wine undergoes the traditional Canteiro ageing method, where the wine slowly matures in oak barrels warmed naturally by the island’s climate. Over time, heat and gentle oxidation concentrate the wine’s flavours, producing Madeira’s distinctive depth, balance, and extraordinary longevity.
After 10 years of ageing, the wine develops a deep amber hue and a richly expressive character. Aromas reveal notes of spice, caramel, and dried fruits, while the palate shows layers of toffee, demerara sugar, and warm spice, balanced by Madeira’s signature vibrant acidity. This interplay of sweetness and freshness creates a wine that is both indulgent and beautifully structured.
Elegant, complex, and versatile, Bual Madeira is an excellent choice for dessert or as a luxurious after-dinner drink.
