Justino Henriques - Premium Weingut auf Madeira in Portugal

Situated in the Atlantic Ocean just under 600 km from the coast of Morocco and 850 km from Portugal, Madeira, also known as the "Green Flower Island", is considered to be home to some of the world's finest cooking, dessert and aperitif wines. One of the oldest producers in subtropical Madeira (which is the Portuguese name for wood) is Vinhos Justino Henriques, whose history can be traced back to the founding year 1870. Even today the traditional house still has a stock of barrels with old and rare Madeira vintages. The wines from the red Negra Mole grape variety and the white Serail, Verdelho, Boal and Malvasia, aged for many years in large oak barrels, are excellent accompaniments to exquisite cuisine and are internationally renowned for their quality. Three to five-year-old Madeira wines are very suitable as an aperitif, 10-year-old Madeira wines are traditionally served with cheese, with a dessert or as the crowning glory of a special meal. If you want to delve deeper into the theme of Madeira, you should definitely try a 10 year old pure vine. Opened Madeira is long-lasting and thus remains drinkable for a longer period of time.
