Henriques & Henriques

Henriques & Henriques is a Madeira wine producer based on the Portuguese island of Madeira. The company specializes in producing the island's distinctive fortified wines, which undergo a unique aging process that involves controlled oxidation and heating, traditionally through the canteiro method or the more rapid estufagem process.

Madeira wine is characterized by its remarkable longevity and distinctive flavor profile, which develops through exposure to heat and oxygen during production. The wines range from dry to sweet styles, with each sweetness level traditionally associated with specific grape varieties. The island's volcanic soils and subtropical climate create ideal conditions for grape growing, while the fortification and heating process produces wines that can age for decades or even centuries.

Henriques & Henriques produces Madeira wines across multiple sweetness levels and age statements, working primarily with traditional varieties including Malvasia and Listán Negro. Their range includes both younger three-year-old blends in medium dry, medium rich, and full rich styles, as well as older fifteen-year-old single-variety expressions featuring Malvasia and Verdelho grapes, which represent the more premium tier of Madeira production.
