The NV Tinta Negra 50 Year Old is a sweet and very concentrated wine with 20% alcohol, 9.22 grams of acidity and 108 grams of sugar. The origin is a wine from 1952 aged in the "canteiro" process (so it's a lot older than 50 years). It kept the slightly rustic character of the grape, with abundant toasty notes, roasted almonds, spices and very intense and pungent notes. The sugar is integrated and balanced by the high acidity. 1,366 bottles were filled in May 2024.

About this wine
Henriques & Henriques stands as one of Madeira's most respected producers, with centuries of winemaking heritage rooted in Portugal's volcanic island terroir. This Tinta Negra represents the house's commitment to age-worthy, complex Madeiras that evolve gracefully over decades. The Tinta Negra grape thrives in Madeira's unique climate, yielding wines of remarkable depth and balance.
This 50-year aged expression showcases the full-bodied character and toasty complexity that define premium Madeira. At 20% ABV, it combines high acidity with natural sweetness, creating a wine of sophistication and versatility. The extended maturation develops layers of caramel and nutty undertones, making it equally suited to sipping as an aperitif or pairing with fine cheeses, roasted nuts, chocolate, and cakes. Its intensity and structure also complement aged cheddars and blue cheese beautifully.
This limited edition Madeira is a connoisseur's choice for collectors seeking a wine of substance and heritage, ideal for yacht entertaining, villa cellars, or fine dining occasions where elegance and rarity converge.
