Henriques & Henriques Madeira Boal 10 Year

LOOP LINE TASTING NOTES | A legendary producer from the island of Madeira; illustrius for producing incredibly balanced and age-worthy wines. This has been a longstanding practice for the producer since they founded the company in 1850.
In January of 1995 at Quinta Grande, a new vineyard was planted at 600 to 750 metres above sea level. This vineyard is spread over 10 hectares and is the largest single vineyard on the island.

The age statements on their labels, is this case the 10 year, delineates the minimum age of wine (as opposed to the average age), present in the bottle.

The wine is produced using the traditional canteiro method where barrels are stored in rafters and gently exposed to heat and sunlight. This unique process allows the wine to acquire distinctive characteristics as a result of slow oxidation and reduction (also known as “angel share”).

A classic style of Bual Madeira. In the glass, a complex and intriguing filled with caramel apple, cracked chestnut, candied lemon zest, and celery root. The palate is consistent with the nose with an added, distinctive bergamot and woodsy aromas. The wine is rich and semi-sweet with a long finish and bright acidity.
