Profile & Story
Henriques & Henriques was founded in 1850 and is today Madeira's largest independent producer, owning more estate vineyards than any other Madeira house, based in Câmara de Lobos. The estate makes wine from Madeira's traditional noble varieties, including Sercial, Verdelho, Bual, and Malvasia, prized for complexity, balance, and long ageing potential. Boal 10 Years Old is aged for at least a decade in the traditional canteiro system, in which barrels are warmed under the sun to accelerate the wine's characteristic oxidative maturation.
Tasting Notes
A dark amber Madeira with greenish nuances, full-bodied and smooth, with a gently sweet character of raisins, honey, and wood, layered with dried fig, apricot, caramel, and baking spice, finishing long.
Pairing Recommendation
Pairs well with dried fruit and nut desserts, aged hard cheeses, or on its own as a digestif.
