Verdelho 10 Years Old - Vinhos Justino Henriques

The Verdelho 10 Years Old from Vinhos Justino Henriques is a wonderful, expressive Madeira vinified exclusively from the Verdelho grape variety. 

In the glass shimmers a brilliant amber color with golden highlights. The nose delights in the typical Madeira aroma. The intense bouquet reveals notes of dried fruit - especially fig - walnuts and a hint of orange peel. On the palate, this Madeira is present with a medium body and a good acid structure. The dried fruit flavors harmonize beautifully with the acidity and accompany into a long finish. 

Vinification of the Verdelho 10 Years Old Justino Henriques

On clay and loamy soils of volcanic origin, the grapes for this Madeira grow on 20-25 year old vines at an altitude of 700 meters. 

The grapes are fermented after harvest and selection at controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks. The aging of this wine in used wooden barrels is about 10 years. This Madeira is blended from several wines, all made by themselves through the individual vinification of white grapes, which have spent at least 10 years in oak barrels before bottling.

Food recommendation for the Justino Henriques Verdelho

This semi-dry Madeira is a wonderful aperitif. But it is also a delight with creamy soups, salted peanuts or even mature hard cheeses.
