Alcohol: 20 %
Grape(s): 100% Terrantez
Location: Madeira, Portugal
Tasting Notes: Bright, old gold with greenish edges. Aromas of dried apricot, toasted hazelnut, candied orange peel and wood spice. Dry-edged and electric on the palate, with searing acidity, a rich, nutty weight and an endless, savory finish.
Notes: Terrantez is among the rarest grapes of Madeira, almost lost to phylloxera. This 20-year-old comes from the estate's own vineyards, aged in old oak casks in the warm lodges of Camara de Lobos and bottled after two decades.
Food Pairing: Aged cheeses, salted almonds, foie gras, roasted nuts, dried fruit and dark chocolate. Also lovely on its own after dinner.
Winery Story: Henriques & Henriques, founded in 1850 in Camara de Lobos, is the only Madeira house still owned by a family and the only one to bottle wines made entirely from its own vineyards, a rarity on the island.
