The Emilio Lustau Vors Pedro Ximenez NV 500ml is a truly exceptional wine hailing from the historic region of Jerez, Spain. This vintage NV offering from the renowned Lustau winery is a testament to their commitment to quality and tradition. On the nose, aromas of rich, ripe raisins and figs mingle with hints of toasted almonds and dark chocolate. The deep, ebony hue of the wine is a visual representation of the concentrated flavors that await on the palate. Velvety and full-bodied, the palate is bursting with flavors of dried fruits, caramel, and a touch of oak. The finish is long and satisfying, leaving a lingering sweetness on the tongue. This Emilio Lustau Vors Pedro Ximenez NV is a perfect accompaniment to desserts or enjoyed on its own as a decadent treat.

Historically considered to be the great grape of Madeira, Terrantez, was introduced in the late 1600's. By the 18th and 19th centuries Terrantez was producing what many experts considered to be the greatest wines of the island. However, the 1852 oidium outbreak destroyed most of the Terrantez vines, followed by phylloxera which put paid to the rest. Nowadays the variety is practically extinct and efforts to revive the plantings have been hampered by the grape's low yielding nature and susceptibility to rot and to mildew in Madeira's humid climate. Henriques farm several tiny parcels of rare Terrantez, and are recognised as one of the leading producers of wines made with this variety.
