\nAs well as being a producer and exporter, H&H is also the only company to own its own vineyards, resulting in the production of extremely high quality grapes, particularly of the Verdelho and Terrantez varieties, which allows it to control production from cultivation to harvest. On the other hand, it also buys grapes from various winegrowers with whom it has a close and long-standing relationship.<\/p>\n

In 1992, Henriques & Henriques began an expansion program and invested in the construction of a new ageing cellar in the parish of C\u00e2mara de Lobos, where the head office and commercial space are also located. He also built a winemaking center on his property in the parish of Quinta Grande, which has given the company the means to meet the demands of the markets, using the latest technological innovations while maintaining the family tradition of almost 200 years in the production of Madeira’s best wines.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″]\n\t

After his death in 1912, his sons Jo\u00e3o Joaquim and Francisco Eduardo Henriques entered into a partnership, which gave rise to the name “Henriques & Henriques”.
\nOver the generations, the Henriques family has played an important role in the production of Madeira wine, where it has always stood out as a producer of excellent quality wines. In the meantime, several events in the second half of the 20th century have taken place. XIX, namely the appearance of powdery mildew in 1852 and shortly afterwards phylloxera in 1872, vine diseases that resulted in serious damage to the region’s vineyards and, as a consequence, led to the family’s assets being consolidated in 1913 into a company that later, in 1925, began exporting its products.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”3166″ img_size=”full” css=””][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1729115611715{margin-top: -20px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”3172″ img_size=”full” css=””][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” full_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” parallax=”content-moving-fade” css=”.vc_custom_1743983580628{background-color: #998067 !important;}”][vc_column][vc_video link=”https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=S8tzNPyuqKE” css=””][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row_content” disable_element=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1743983598984{padding-right: 15px !important;padding-left: 15px !important;background-color: #f1f1f1 !important;}”][vc_column]\n\t
