20 Years Old Madeira – A Most welcome Trend
On 14 februari, 2013 · 1 Comment · In 20 YO, Blandy's, Blends, H.M. Borges, Henriques and Henriques, Humberto Jardim, Madeira, Verdelho
Twenty years old Madeira. For the initiated Madeira consumer this has primarily been equal to Vintage wines which by regulation needs to spend two decades in cask. Most of these however, are allowed to evolve much longer than that, knowing they need it. Vintage Madeira is such a miniscule part of the overall [...]

On 6 november, 2012 · Leave a Comment · In 1954, Henriques and Henriques, Humberto Jardim, Literature, Madeira, Noël Cossart, Terrantez, Vintage
I’m delighted to see that the number of visitors keeps moving upwards. In the last 30 days the site has had visitors from 47 different countries (spambots and other evil not included)! A new record. The biggest of thanks to all of you, for showing interest in Madeira wine!

Henriques & Henriques; Quinta Grande
On 4 november, 2012 · Leave a Comment · In Camara de Lobos, Henriques and Henriques, Humberto Jardim, Madeira, Quinta Grande
Thanks to the work of Humberto Jardim, the Quinta Grande will become more accessible for visitors in the future. And believe me, you really want to visit this amazing vineyard, to get a glimpse of the breathtaking view and to understand just how difficult it is to cultivate vines in Madeira. Thanks for [...]

I can’t think of a better way to report but directly from Madeira! Tasting the current vintage, last year’s or an 1885 Verdelho, doesn’t really matter; it is all great fun and inspires me a lot to keep on writing this site. Thanks for reading and sharing Mad about Madeira! And don’t forget [...]

Great to have you here! If you like what you read then why not take a look at Facebook as well? I’m there as me, myself and I. Sometimes I also tweet. Welcome!
Just before leaving the tasting room, Humberto says there’s something special he’d like me to taste. Off [...]
A travel in time; 2011 to 1811

When I look back I actually have a hard time understanding how I made it all. Leaving for Funchal Tuesday – heading back home again on Sunday. All producers visited, some twice. The incoming of the grapes, picking grapes and attending some truly memorable tastings.
Guess I didn’t sleep so much when I [...]
Madeira, here I come! But first a 10 years old Sercial…
On 5 september, 2011 · 2 Comments · In 10 YO, Bicentennial tasting, Blandy's, Henriques and Henriques, Madeira, MWC, Sercial
It’s been eighteen months now. 18 months! That’s simply too long. I’m going back. Now. Well ok, in two weeks time….
Madeira’s my vinous Xanadu. An island I keep returning to. Great wines, great people and awesome sceneries. The question is if the next trip though, ever will find its counterpart? I’m invited [...]
No. Summer isn’t only about the usual suspects; white wine, rosé and Champagne. But they’re so refreshing, claims the advocate. Really? Since when did alcoholic beverages become refreshing? Don’t people get dozy in the sun by drinking? I do. Water. Water is refreshing and best consumed in large gulps.
Madeira is actually a [...]
Madeira wine needs time. At least if its purpose is to fascinate, seduce and grab your attention. These golden oldies are also the ones that gets the attention on Mad about Madeira. Shame on me! A Madeira site can’t neglect the majority of the wines produced on the island; the three and five years old [...]
The bouquet is an invitation to a world of associations. I’m thrown between Denmark and Indonesia, Christmas and summertime, before I have that sip and land in Madeira. There’s such complexity in aged Madeira just grabbing you while saying: ”Hey, use your references!” Let me explain.
The first scent jumping right out of [...]
Henriques and Henriques 1957 Boal Vintage
On 28 februari, 2011 · Leave a Comment · In 1957, Boal, Frasqueira's, Henriques and Henriques, Madeira, Vintage
Vintage Madeira is not only a lovely drink, it also awakens memories. In 1992 I turned 20. It was also the year when the most amazing football sensation took place (at least if your of Danish origin) and Denmark won the EC final against the great German team. On yet a personal level [...]
Verdelho; when the chef decides!
On 1 februari, 2011 · Leave a Comment · In 10 YO, Calheta, Camara de Lobos, Henriques and Henriques, Porto Moniz, Quinta Grande, São Vicente, Table wine, Verdelho
Lack of inspiration or motivation you might think. After all, how much can one write about Madeira wine on a regular basis? But no, there’s nothing wrong with my passion and love when it comes to the wines from my beloved Madeira! I could write plenty if only time was on my side…
The grapes of Terrantez are not for eating…
On 10 december, 2010 · 4 Comments · In 20 YO, Camara de Lobos, Henriques and Henriques, Terrantez, Trevor Elliot
You know, there’s a saying in Portugal:
”As uvas de Terrantez, não as comas nem as dês, para vinho Deus as fez.”
Meaning: The grapes of Terrantez are not for eating, nor to give them away, but for wine god created them.
Now the question is, how am I going to interpret [...]
…the 1894 Founder’s Reserve Solera?
It’s that time of the year again. On Friday it’s the 10th of December and Stockholm is all about the Nobel prize award. Stadshuset will be crammed with smart people, dignities and people who like to hang around with those just mentioned. From the beginning, when [...]
Poetry in a glass – the 1898 Verdelho Solera from Henriques and Henriques
On 5 december, 2010 · 2 Comments · In 1898, Camara de Lobos, Henriques and Henriques, Solera, Verdelho
1898.
Not only was it the starting year of a solera; George Gershwin was born the same fall. Others who saw daylight for the first time were the author C S Lewis, artist René Magritte and the Finnish designer Alvar Aalto. Narrowing it down, my all time favorite poet was born, Swedish Hjalmar [...]
Buying land in Madeira is expensive, especially if flat land is wanted. Since the island more or less is one big mountain rising up from the Atlantic Ocean, the flat parts are few and hence reaches prices you thought was exclusive [...]
You know, I do drink Madeira wine that doesn’t cost a fortune. Not only because my wallet doesn’t allow the extravaganza but also to never loose perspective. One who only drinks the best will never have anything to compare with – and consequently – won’t fully appreciate the greatness of a vintage Madeira.

Next time we visit Madeira we already know where to look for residence. Câmara de Lobos is such a wonderfully located village with a friendly small town feeling to it, nice restaurants, breathtaking view, vicinity to Funchal and oh yes; there’s a wine producer as well – Henriques & Henriques (H [...]
Pastéis de Nata meets Tinta Negra Mole
On 9 mars, 2010 · 2 Comments · In 1995, 1998, Henriques and Henriques, Pastéis de Nata, Tinta Negra Mole
Pastéis de Nata – or if you’re in Lisboa – Pastéis de Belém, is a Portuguese custard cake to die for! When served lukewarm and sprinkled with cinnamon it’s truly divine together with an espresso – or when wine is asked for – a glass of Moscatel de Setubal or medium [...]
There was a time when transporting wine only was possible in two ways; by boat or by borracheiro. The borracheiro, a man who transported the grape juice right after pressing, was a common sight on Madeira before vehicles and the highway to Funchal existed.
