Barbeito "Island Dry" Reserva 5 Year Old Tinta Negra & Sercial NV 750ml

Barbeito is in its infancy by Madeira standards, having started in the 1940s. Since the mid-90s, their focus has been on wines that are vinous and moreish, preserving freshness and vibrancy above all else. They are drier and paler in colour than what you might expect from a Madeira - they don't add caramel to darken, and the retain as much natural acidity to keep the wines light and moreish.

Henriques & Henriques "Full Rich" Madeira 500ml

Made predominantly from Tinta Negra Mole--with 10% Malvasia in this case-- Henriques & Henriques 3 Year Old blends are produced in an estufa process specifically set up for these wines.

Henriques & Henriques Madeira 15 Year Old Malvasia 500ml

Decanter Magazine: Favourite Fortified Wine, 1998 Decanter Fine Wine Encounter (one of three). "Madeira is having a hard time, especially after a difficult vintage in 1998. Henriques & Henriques produce an outstanding range of 10-year-old Madeiras, but their 15-year-old Malmsey, with its scented, high-toned aromas and wonderfully sinewy flavors, is quintessential and better than many a vintage wine. It is also a bargain."

Henriques & Henriques Madeira 20 Year Old Malvasia 750ml

This mindbogglingly complex Malvasia (weighting in at 20.45 alc/vol and just over 100 grams of residual sugar, balanced by delicious mouth-watering acidity) has been matured using the traditional Canteiro method in Henriques' purpose built lodges in Camara de Lobos. The wines are cask-aged in lodge attics, against south-facing windows, and at 20 years maturation thus, represents the best of Vinhos de Canteiro.This extraordinary wine is redolent of dried Turkish black figs and toffee, with penetrating citrus oils, toasted nuts and … more

Importers Tasting Notes - "More time in wood equals more complex wood-and-balsam volatile secondary beauty. The fruit characters are raisined, dried, preserved and citric all at once, wandering through a sky-wide nose of fine aromatic timber, grilled bread and nuts. Dry Sercial's vegetality is largely subsumed by fine old wood perfume. It's complex as all get-out, but with great harmony and composure. Dry and saline in the mouth, it's almost austere but with a nice textural generosity through the palate, … more

Pereira D'Oliveira Madeira Tinta Negra Sweet Frasqueira 1929 [Bottled 2017]

Importers Tasting Notes - "Wizened lantana thread through cracked old clay pipes; arcane preserved green herbs conjure ancient apothecarial times. There's a wrench of medicinal bitter and the smoked steel of an old billy. Under all, crepuscular vegetal tendrils arc a justmoonlit succulence. A shimmering, vertical ovoid mouthfeel has focus and frame shift and blur between acid and tannin. It's heavily spiced at the mouth's lower rim, through which a salted leather, sweetly dark, treacled-tea flavour-feel persists. Oh my tangy, … more
