Henriques & Henriques Madeira Finest Medium Rich 5 Year Old NV (500ml)
GOLD MEDAL AWARDED: INTERNATIONAL WINE CHALLENGE 2017
A medium dark, rich and fruity wine, lighter than "Full Rich",, but full bodied and very fragrant. Delicious as a dessert wine, especially with fruit based deserts, chocolate, or rich cakes. It also a good pairing with strong cheeses such as Roquefort or Stilton or just with coffee.
āI know of no wine of its class that can beat Madeira when at its bestā¦ In fact, I think Madeira and Burgundy carry combined intensity and complexity of vinous delights further than any other wine.āĀ George Saintsbury, Notes on a Cellar-Book
As a basic guide, the dry wines (closer to off-dry for most) are ideal aperitifs, served chilled with freshly roasted nuts, olives or tapas-style food. The tangy, medium-dry wines pair beautifully with smoked fish and white meats. The rich styles are delicious as a dessert wine, especially with fruity deserts, chocolate, or full-flavoured cakes. They also make a good pairing with strong cheeses such as Roquefort or Stilton, or even just with coffee.
