Henriques & Henriques 5-Year Old Seco Especial Madeira (750ml)

The H&H Seco Especial (Finest, Dry) allies a nutty, smoky bouquet to a dry, energetic and expansive palette etched with flavors of roasted almond, mandarin orange and dried honey. Excellent as an aperitif, but with many additional possibilities at the table and on the bar.

At the table: with oysters (raw or cooked), all manner of tartare, nuts and aged goat cheese (e.g., Garrotxa; Ticklemore). On the bar, it plays well with a wide variety of different spirits, lending elegance to rum, tequila, mezcal and whiskeys of all types.

It might be said that the history of Henriques & Henriques is the history of Madeira itself. Legend has it that Infante Dom Henriques planted the island’s first vines in 1425. These vines gave fruit to one of the “first families of Madeira” and in the process sunk deep roots which Henriques’ descendants and successors continue to draw upon in guiding H&H today.
