Fortified WineHenriques & Henriques Finest Full Rich 5yo
Henriques & Henriques Finest Full Rich 5 Year Old is a Madeira drawn primarily from Tinta Negra, aged for an average of five years in canteiro on the island of Madeira. Produced by Henriques & Henriques, the wine sits in the richer register of the house style, shaped by oxidative ageing in seasoned oak under warm conditions.
Fermentation is stopped to retain sweetness, followed by gradual concentration and development in cask. The result is a wine defined by structure as much as sugar, with acidity carrying the weight.
Dried fig, toffee and roasted nuts lead, with molasses and baking spice through the palate. It is full-bodied, with a long, warming finish held in line by firm acidity.
