NV Belem's Madeira Doce 500 ml

Firm and concentrated, Belém’s Madeira – Doce exhibits exceptional balance and complexity, its allusions to panforte, mocha, citrus oil, toasted almond and sea spray delineated and lifted by a bright, vibrant backbone of acidity—Madeira’s hallmark. At just 17% abv (compared to a more typical 19-20%), it is the best Madeira you can cook with, and the only one you can enjoy—with or without desserts—after your gastronomic labors of love are complete.

Established in 1932 by the last surviving member of the Henriques family — popularly known as “João de Belém” — Belém’s Madeira pays homage to the ancestral home of the Henriques family in Belém, Câmara de Lobos, the historic fishing village west of Funchal whose history is inextricably linked to the history of Madeira — the island and the wine. Today, Belém’s Madeira continues to be owned and produced by by Henriques & Henriques, one of the most esteemed and storied producers on the island.
