Widely regarded by those in the know as the island's best wine producer, Henriques & Henriques only uses grapes from its own vineyards in Quinta Grande and Câmara de Lobos. The wine is finished off in huge barrels at its modern, specially designed headquarters. Visitors can try the four types of three-year-old wine for free. Anything older normally incurs a charge.
