Rich, sweet and perfectly balanced: an everyday Malmsey.
Tasting note
Dark golden brown. A classic Madeira nose of grapes, toffee and nuts. The luscious palate is sweet, rich and full-bodied, complex, with a honeyed finish and balanced acidity. Impeccably balanced.
Food pairing
An excellent dessert wine with chocolate, petits fours, coffee and cheese. Delicious in a wide glass with ice and a twist of lemon peel. Also a chefs’ favourite for enriching rich sauces.
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.
