This is packed with attractive aromas of coffee, cacao, caramel, and hazelnuts. The nose is mirrored on the palate with a mocha character, then glorious rosewater and passionfruit. Lifted and fresh. There is a long, praline finish. Characterful and complex.
Blandy's, 20 Year Old Malmsey, 6x500ml

This is a blend of different stocks of Malmsey, which spent an average of 20 years aging in oak barrels
in the method called “Canteiro”, in the centuries-old Blandy’s Wine Lodge.
On the island of Madeira, Malvasia vineyards thrive in Cambisol soils, which are thick, with a fine
texture, medium organic matter content, characteristic of the south of the island, but also found in
São Jorge, Santana, on the North coast, where Blandy’s has their vineyards at Quinta do Bispo.
Over the past 40 years, this grape variety has expanded well in São Jorge, where temperatures
are lower and the vineyards are influenced by the mountains and strong maritime winds from the
Atlantic.

In 2021, only 2000 bottles were bottled.
