1887 Madeira Henriques & Henriques Boal Fortificado

Description

The story of Henriques & Henriques, founded by João Gonçalves Henriques, dates back to 1850. After his death in 1912, a partnership was formed between his two sons, Francisco Eduardo and João Joaquim Henriques, giving rise to the name Henriques & Henriques. From its earliest days, Henriques & Henriques has occupied a prominent position in viticulture and winemaking. In 1913 the family interests were incorporated into a family company, which in 1925 began operating as an exporter of its wines rather than supplying them locally to other exporters. In 1968, following the death of the last Henriques, João Joaquim Henriques—known as “João de Belém”—who had no heirs, the company was inherited by his three friends and collaborators: Alberto Nascimento Jardim, Peter Cossart (who had overseen 53 harvests at the company), and Carlos Nunes Pereira.
