Raisins, wood and spice in a fresh, medium-dry Madeira.
Tasting note
Bright topaz with a golden rim. The complex nose reveals a fresh bouquet of raisins, dried fruit, wood and spice.
The story
100% Verdelho, aged for five 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.
