Henriques & Henriques 10 Year Old Verdelho Madeira is a beautifully balanced fortified wine from the Portuguese island of Madeira, showcasing the classic medium-dry style that sits perfectly between the crisp dryness of Sercial and the richer sweetness of Bual and Malmsey.
Produced from 100% Verdelho grapes, this Madeira undergoes the traditional Canteiro ageing process, where the wine slowly matures in oak casks warmed naturally by the island’s climate. Over time, gentle oxidation and evaporation concentrate the flavours and aromas, creating Madeira’s distinctive complexity and remarkable longevity.
After 10 years of ageing, the wine develops a rich amber colour and expressive aromatic profile. The nose reveals inviting notes of dried fruits, toasted nuts, and caramel, while the palate is medium-dry with vibrant acidity, giving the wine both freshness and depth. The finish is long, elegant, and perfectly balanced between sweetness and structure.
Versatile and food-friendly, this Verdelho Madeira works beautifully as an aperitif or paired with savoury dishes.
