Henriques & Henriques 3 Years Old Full Rich Madeira

As early as the 17th century, ships - from Europe on their way to America - took barrels of wine from the Portuguese island of Madeira. They added some alcohol for shelf life. The barrels were left to stew on deck in the scorching sun for months. Upon return, the wine appeared to have undergone a unique flavor development. The Madeira is still made this way.

This is probably the best-selling Madeira in the world and certainly the most affordable. Thick, light brown juice with a rich and intense taste of sal ammoniac, licorice, dates, nuts and apple syrup. A great combination with a cheese board. Serve slightly chilled.
