Blandy's Bual 10 Year Old SOMLYAY - NV (750ml)

In recent years, award-winning winemaker, Francisco Albuquerque, and his team have embarked on various R&D initiatives to deepen its comprehension of the intricate Madeira wine aging process. This emphasis stems from dedication to not only grasp the nuances of the numerous variables influencing the wine but also to anticipate and mitigate the impact of climate change on the process.
This new edition 10-year-old range has been crafted using age-old techniques of the past, combined with detailed knowledge on how each varietal evolves in the company’s 12 different ageing rooms in 2 very different locations – The Blandy’s Wine Lodge in Funchal and the Winery in Caniçal. This has allowed us to age our wines in very specific locations to make the most of the conditions best suited to each varietal.

This wine is a blend of Madeira wines with an average age of 10 years in seasoned oak casks in the traditional ‘Canteiro’ system. After the aging process, the wine is fined before bottling.

TASTING NOTES
Bright crystalline golden-brown colour with golden reflections. It presents a characteristic bouquet, complex, with great aromatic intensity, revealing a bouquet of dried fruits, such as figs and plums, with notes of almonds and wood, subtly completed by caramelized and vanilla notes. Notes of cinnamon and sweet spices. The attack is medium sweet, with great balance, sugars, and acids, soft, and smooth with notes of fruit cake, liqueur, and candied fruit. Pleasant and persistent, very smooth aftertaste of honey and ginger biscuits.
