Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: The non-vintage 20-Year-Old Terrantez has a crisp, well-defined, wax resin, dried honey and marmalade-scented bouquet that is very satisfying.The palate is extremely well-balanced with just a touch of heat on the entry.

• John Gilman: The deep and very vibrant nose wafts from the glass in a superb blend of cherries, baked peaches, honey cake, orange zest, a lovely and complex base of soil tones and a nice touch of cloves in the upper register. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, complex and tangy, with a superb core of fruit, lovely focus and length, tangy acids and seamless balance on the long and vibrant finish.

Producer Information

In 1925, H&H (Henriques & Henriques) began to bottle and export Madeira produced entirely from their own vineyardsan anomaly amongst producers on the island. Today, Henriques & Henriques is led by CEO and winemaker Humberto Jardim, one of Madeiras 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 Grandethe single largest on island, replanted in 1995. Against the tides of urban development, H&H have been in the forefront of vineyard planting and preservation of Madeiras noble varieties: Sercial, Verdelho, Boal, Malvasia and Terrantez, while simultaneously playing a key role in the reappraisal of the underrated Tinta Negra, recently releasing an unprecedented 50-year expression. Likewise, H&Hs age-statement varietal wines are widely regarded as benchmark articulations: always 100% of the stated varietal (e.g., Verdelho), the blend always composed of stocks well in excess of the statement requirement (e.g., 15-year). Finally, H&H continues to boast an impressive selection of pre-1925 Garrafeira (vintage) and Solera bottlings originating in the Henriques family cellars. Without question, the most celebrated of these is the Heavenly Quartetfour legendary wines from the late 18th centurythat are amongst the most transcendent expressions of Madeira extant today. To taste any one of these is, quite literally, to drink history itself, as well as to share in the accumulated wisdomof family, family-owned vineyards and old stocksthat continue to define Henriques & Henriques today.
