Henriques & Henriques Monte Seco Extra Dry 3yo Madeira

Henriques & Henriques Monte Seco Extra Dry 3 Year Old is a Madeira drawn primarily from Tinta Negra, aged for an average of three years in canteiro on the island of Madeira, produced by Henriques & Henriques. It sits in the extra dry style, with fermentation carried close to dryness before fortification.

Ageing takes place in seasoned oak under warm conditions, where gradual oxidation and evaporation shape the wine. Even at a younger average age, the structure is defined by acidity rather than weight.

Citrus peel, green almond and light saline notes lead, with a faint oxidative edge. The palate is lean and dry, with a clean, brisk finish carried by firm acidity.
