Description
Blandy’s 10 Year Old Malmsey Madeira is a rich and decadent expression of the iconic Malmsey style, celebrated for its natural sweetness and complexity. Crafted from carefully selected grapes, this Madeira develops a deep amber colour and a luscious, full-bodied texture, combining layers of caramel, roasted nuts, dried tropical fruits, and subtle spice. Balanced by lively acidity, it achieves a remarkable harmony of richness and freshness that defines Madeira’s enduring appeal.
Meet the Producer
Blandy’s Madeira has a long history of producing high-quality fortified wines from the island of Madeira. The house combines traditional winemaking techniques with meticulous vineyard and cellar practices, producing wines that reflect the volcanic soils, Atlantic climate, and unique heritage of Madeira.
Production
The grapes are hand-harvested at optimal ripeness and undergo careful fermentation before extended barrel ageing in warm conditions, following the traditional estufagem method. This slow maturation develops aromatic intensity, complexity, and depth. Multiple barrels are blended to ensure balance, consistency, and a rich, elegant profile.
Tasting Notes
The wine exhibits a deep amber hue with expressive aromas of caramel, roasted almonds, dried apricots, and a touch of spice. On the palate, it is full-bodied and velvety, with sweet richness perfectly balanced by vibrant acidity, leading to a long, elegant, and lingering finish.
Food Match
Ideal as an after-dinner wine, it pairs beautifully with blue cheeses, rich chocolate desserts, sticky toffee pudding, or can be savoured neat as a contemplative sipping wine.
