Reservas Velhíssimas
From the Henriques family’s private reserves, these are wines
with an indication of grape variety, but whose harvest date has been lost in time.
When the company was founded in 1850, they were already considered old wines.
For this reason, we believe that they are around 200 years old.
The dates mentioned on the labels refer to the dates of the respective bottlings.

Soleira
These are wines obtained from one year’s harvest, forming the basis of a blend of which 10% can be bottled each year. A wine of the same quality is used to fill the cask. Up to 10 additions can be made, after which the remaining wine must all be bottled under the SOLERA denomination. H&H has some examples in considerable quantities.
This process was used in the 19th century when diseases destroyed many vineyards and producers had to use it to obtain enough wine to supply their customers. Nowadays, the Solera system is no longer used.
