Ten years of Verdelho: orange blossom, honey and a long, exotic finish.
Tasting note
A lovely golden brown with a pale green rim. A fresh, fragrant bouquet of dried fruit, spice, orange blossom and peel. Medium dry, full and rich, very concentrated, with well-integrated acidity, an exciting interplay of bitter and sweet notes, and honey. Exotic fruit and spice on the long finish.
The story
100% Verdelho, aged for ten years in American oak casks using the traditional canteiro system.
Food pairing
An excellent aperitif, but also delicious with soups, game birds and pâtés.
The producer
The house of Blandy’s dates from 1811 and is still owned by the founding family. In 1925 it joined the Madeira Wine Association to strengthen its position on the world market. The house is led by Chris Blandy, the seventh generation.
