The history of Henriques & Henriques goes back to the year 1850 when the company was founded by João Gonçalves Henriques, descendant of a family that settled in Câmara de Lobos many years ago. After his death in 1912, his sons João Joaquim and Francisco Eduardo Henriques formed a partnership where the name “Henriques & Henriques” comes from.

The Henriques family, over the different generations, played an important role in the production of Madeira wine, being known as a producer of wines of excellent quality. Several events that occurred in the second half of the 19th century, namely the appearance of Oidium in 1852 and shortly after Filoxera in 1872, diseases of the vineyard, resulted in serious damage to the vineyards and, as a consequence, led to the interests of the company in 1913. family to be consolidated in a company that later, in 1925, started to export its own wines, instead of supplying them to other exporters.

In addition to being a producer and exporter, H&H is characterized by being the only owner of its own vineyards in the region, which allows the production of extremely high quality grapes, namely the Verdelho grape, and also Terrantez, which stands out for being a grape. very sensitive and not very productive, but a true nectar of the gods, when transformed into wood wine.

Despite having its own production, H&H needs to acquire grapes from several winegrowers with whom it has had a close relationship for many years.

In 1992, Henriques & Henriques started an expansion program and invested in the construction of a new aging cellar in Câmara de Lobos and also in the construction of a new winemaking center built on its property, in Quinta Grande, which provided the company with the means suitable for using the latest technological innovations but, at the same time, maintaining the family tradition of almost 200 years in the production of the best wines of Madeira, of exceptional quality.
