Blandy's Verdelho 10 Year Old

A Luxurious Madeira with a Beautifully Balanced Complexity

Blandy’s Verdelho 10 Year Old is a stunning example of Madeira at its finest. This medium-rich wine offers an alluring combination of zesty citrus, dried fruits, and a subtle nuttiness that come together harmoniously after a decade of aging. The Verdelho grapes are fermented off the skins for about four days, which results in a wine that’s sweeter than the Sercial. With an average age of around 10 years in cask, the wine becomes very concentrated, developing spicy, dried fruit characters and warm marmalade flavours.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Aromas of orange peel, apricot, and honey, with hints of toasted almonds and a touch of spice.
• Palate: The medium-bodied wine reveals rich flavours of dried orange, caramel, and a touch of vanilla. There's a lovely warmth to the wine, balanced by a fresh acidity.
• Finish: A long, dry finish that lingers with a delightful nutty aftertaste.

Perfect Serve

Enjoy this Madeira slightly chilled, either on its own as a special treat or paired with rich desserts like a lemon tart or crème brûlée. It’s also an excellent match for hard cheeses such as Manchego or aged Gouda.

Artisan Craftsmanship

Blandy’s has been producing exceptional Madeira for over 200 years, and this Verdelho is a testament to their mastery. Carefully aged in oak casks, the wine undergoes the traditional "Canteiro" process, which ensures a slow and natural aging method that enhances its complexity and depth of flavour.
