New Wines – Bottle 2022

In 2022, H&H decided to bottle three excellent wines dating from the 1920s and 1930s as three more icons in its range of very old wines.

 

 

Sercial 1928

Aged in old American oak casks, it shows an amber color with golden-green notes. On the palate, the oxidative characteristics of long cellar ageing are clear. A delicate dryness, lively and fresh acidity, spicy spice and a finish of dried fruit.

 

 

Verdelho 1932

Intense and persistent aroma of marmalade, candied orange peel, dried fruit and subtle notes of very old wood. Elegant and very balanced texture with a taste of candied Mediterranean fruits and spices, with great persistence. It shows layers of different levels of oxidative ageing.

 

 

Bastard 1927

A synonym for the Trousseau grape variety (France), it ripens early and reaches high sugar levels. Long oxidative ageing has revealed a complex aromatic composition, with notes of prunes, tobacco, coffee, toffee, walnuts, toasted hazelnuts and propolis. The palate is rich, unctuous and persistent.
