Blandy’s 10 Year Old Malmsey 50 cl

The Blandy’s are unique in being the only family of all the original founders of the Madeira wine trade to still own and manage their own original wine company.
Madeira is unique in that their grape varieties will always indicate the richness (sweetness) of the wines – Sercial is dry, Verdelho is medium dry, Bual is medium rich & Malmsey is rich.
Each style is aged for an average of 10 years in old oak casks at the Blandy’s lodge in Fuchal, Madeira. The lodge is naturally heated by the islands subtropical climate. This causes the sugars in the wines to slowly caramelise, creating that classic Madeira wine style.

Clear and dark golden brown with green tinges at the rim. Complex and intense nose revealing a bouquet of wood, dried fruits, toffee and spices. Sweet, fresh and smooth with length, full bodied with lingering, smoky characteristics and extremely well-balanced acidity. It is a superb accompaniment to dessert dishes, especially fruit, cakes, rich chocolate puddings and cheeses.
