Blandy’s Madeira 10 Year Malmsey - 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
Intense golden mahogany brown color, with almost greenish reflections. It presents a characteristic bouquet, good and complex nose, revealing a bouquet of wood, dried fruits, confectionery, caramelized, floral tea, spices and honey. The attack is sweet and soft, smooth full-bodied, with notes of aged brandy and slightly smoked woods. Long finish, with some freshness and heat, with notes of spice, smoked walnut and molasses.
