In the third and last of our profiles of great fortified wines, Richard Hemming looks at one of the most exciting producers of Madeira. (The Madeira wine scene has been immeasurably impoverished by the death at such a relatively young age of John Cossart of the indepdent producer Henriques & Henriques. Many of the other famous names belong to the Madeira Wine Company owned by the Symington family of port fame.)

Prices are recommended retail prices by Barbeito’s UK importer Raymond Reynolds.
