Henriques & Henriques 10 Year Old Sercial Madeira is a refined and beautifully matured fortified wine from the Portuguese island of Madeira, crafted using the traditional Canteiro ageing method. Known for producing some of the island’s finest wines, Henriques & Henriques specialises in long-aged Madeira styles that combine remarkable freshness with exceptional longevity.
Made from 100% Sercial grapes, the driest of the traditional Madeira varieties, this wine undergoes a unique ageing process where barrels are slowly warmed by natural heat in the winery lofts. This Canteiro method gently concentrates the wine through evaporation and oxidation over time, creating Madeira’s signature complexity and remarkable stability.
After a minimum of 10 years ageing in oak casks, the wine develops a distinctive character. In the glass it displays a medium amber colour, while the nose reveals aromas of brown spices, walnuts, citrus peel, and subtle smoky notes. The palate is dry and vibrant, showing flavours of toasted nuts, apricot, and vanilla, supported by lively acidity and an exceptionally long finish.
Elegant, complex, and intensely fresh, this Sercial Madeira is perfect as an aperitif or paired with savoury dishes.
