Henriques & Henriques – 15 Year Old Madeira Sercial NV

Amber, bright with golden nuances. It features a deep and intense sea dried fruits, revealing their aging. Half sweet taste of dried fruit, full-bodied and complex with a good balance between acidity and sweetness and a long finish. Palest and the driest of the classical madeira varieties, Sercial is known as ‘Esgano Cão’—‘dog strangler’—on the Portuguese mainland, a nod to its fiery, mouth-puckering acidity.At its best, racy and high-toned, it is a wine of exquisite tension.
