Henriques & Henriques 5-year Generoso Doce Madeira

João Joaquim Gonçalves Henriques founded the firm in 1850 as a partidista, supplying wine to other merchants from extensive Henriques vineyard holdings while continuing to amass significant stocks of old wines in the family cellars. In 1925, Henriques & Henriques began to bottle and export Madeira produced entirely from their own vineyards—an anomaly amongst producers on the island. Today, Henriques & Henriques is led by CEO and winemaker Humberto Jardim, one of Madeira’s great visionaries and ambassadors. The firm continues to source some of its needs from its own vineyards, most notably from a terraced, 10-hectare vineyard at Quinta Grande—the single largest on island, replanted in 1995.

TASTING NOTES
Deep and complex, the H&H Doce Generoso (Full, Rich) marries concentrated sultana raisin and caramelized citrus fruit to classic bolo de mel flavors: cane sugar, walnut, roasted almond, holiday spice (cinnamon, anise, clove), candied lemon and bitter orange zest. Beautifully calibrated acidity guides the classic Madeirense flavors to a poised, harmonious finish.
