Blandy's Verdelho 10 Years Old Madeira, 750ml

100% Verdelho grapes grown in both the north and south of Madeira, including areas like Porto Moniz, Santana, São Vicente, Calheta, and Funchal. The grapes are picked by hand in stages, depending on ripeness. After a short skin contact, the juice ferments for 6–8 days with natural yeast in temperature-controlled tanks. Fermentation is stopped with grape spirit to keep the right level of sweetness. The wine is then aged for about 10 years in old oak casks using the traditional ‘Canteiro’ method, and is gently filtered before bottling.

Tasting Note:
It presents a characteristic bouquet of candied and dry fruits macerated in brandy, notes of dried figs and dates, exotic spices, resinous woods. The attack is medium dry, good freshness balanced with salinity and sweetness sensations, leaving a long and rich aftertaste of smoked dried fruits, figs and some iodized elements.

Residual Sugar: 75g/l
