THE FAMILY
The Blandy’s family is unique for being the only family of all the original
founders of the Madeira wine trade to still own and manage their original
wine company. The family has played a leading role in the development of
Madeira wine since the early nineteenth century. Blandy’s Madeira remains
totally dedicated to the traditions, care, and craftsmanship of Madeira Wine
for over 200 years.
THE WINEMAKING
Blandy’s 2010 Verdelho Colheita was aged in seasoned American oak casks
in the traditional ‘Canteiro’ system, whereby the wine is gently heated by
warm air in the lofts of the company’s south-facing lodge in Funchal. Over
the years the casks are transferred om the top floor to the middle floor
and eventually to the ground floor where it is cooler. The wine is regularly
racked during the ageing process and is finally bottled when the
desired balance of maturity is reached.
TASTING NOTE
Topaz with golden nuances, crystal clear. An intense bouquet of apple jelly,
yellow uit chutney, aged brandy with hints of spice. The palate is medium
dry and esh with saline notes, leaving a long and warm finish of candied
uit and brandy.

GRAPE VARIETAL
The Verdelho grape, some say, was
the most represented grape in
Madeira during the 17th century
and that it originates om the
island. The musts have moderate
sweetness and acidity which result
in medium-dry wines.
