Henriques & Henriques 10 Year Old Malvasia Madeira, also known as Malmsey, represents the richest and sweetest style of traditional Madeira wine. Produced on the Portuguese island of Madeira, this luxurious fortified wine is crafted from 100% Malvasia grapes and aged using the historic Canteiro method.
In this traditional ageing process, the wine slowly matures in oak barrels that are naturally warmed by the island’s climate. Over time, gentle oxidation and evaporation concentrate the flavours, creating Madeira’s signature complexity and remarkable stability. The result is a wine that balances luscious sweetness with vibrant acidity, allowing it to remain fresh despite its richness.
After 10 years of maturation, the wine develops an intense deep amber colour with captivating aromas of nuts, honey, and toasted wood. The palate is full and soft, revealing layers of walnuts, dried fruits, coffee, and caramel, all supported by Madeira’s natural acidity. The finish is long, rich, and beautifully persistent.
Indulgent and complex, this Malvasia Madeira is the perfect way to finish a meal and an excellent introduction to one of the world’s most unique fortified wines.
