The Portuguese island of Madeira, located near the coast of North Africa in the
Atlantic Ocean, is world-famous for its unique, delicious fortified wines of the same name.
What makes Madeira so unique and delicious? The production and aging process –
heating the wines, and then fortifying them with brandy – result in a wonderful wine, with a distinctive character of
toffee/caramel balanced by acidity, and incomparable longevity.
Why try these wines? These little-known wines offer an extraordinary experience
for both adventurous and traditional consumers. Madeira is not a substitute for, but an addition to, the better-known
categories of Port, Sherry and Brandy. Extremely versatile, Madeira can be enjoyed before, during, and after a meal –
chilled as an aperitif, sipped with desserts and cheese, savored with a cigar.
Why choose Justino? Vinhos Justino Henriques, Filhos, Lda., was founded in 1870.
Having completed renovations in 1993, the winery has state-of-the-art technology and a large production capacity. Its wide
range of wines are produced only from the finest grapes grown on the island, made in strict accordance with traditional
methods.
