Henriques & Henriques Finest Dry 5Yo 500ml NV

Henriques & Henriques Finest Dry 5Yo is a dry five-year-old madeira made predominantly from Tinta Negra with 20 per cent Sercial.

Sercial is the driest and most bracing of Madeira's noble white varieties, grown at the island's highest and coolest sites, and at this level it is used to lend its acidity and cut to a base of Tinta Negra. Henriques & Henriques produce their five-year-old blends at Câmara de Lobos through an estufa process built specifically for these wines, then age them in oak cask for a minimum of five years before bottling. That time in barrel has given a nutty, smoky bouquet and an energetic, expansive palate with roasted almond, mandarin and dried honey running through it. Strictly speaking the wine edges into off-dry rather than being fully dry, which is normal for the style and helps carry the acidity. Bottled at 500ml.

Ready now, and an opened bottle keeps for months. Serve chilled at 10–12°C as an aperitif with roasted nuts and olives, or with fish tapas and consommé.
