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 Malmsey 2010 was aged for 13 years in seasoned American oak
casks and as with all the family’s vintages, this wine started its aging process
in the warm high attic floors of the lodge in the center of Funchal. Over the
13 years, the wine passed down om the warmer top floor of the Blandy’s
Wine Lodges, the “Sotão de Amendoa” to the cooler first for the remaining
years. The art of finding the right balance between concentration and the
eshness of the wine lies in the winemaker’s decision when to transfer the
wine to the lower cooler north facing floors of the lodge.
TASTING NOTE
Amber, clear and bright, with golden nuances. A characteristic nose, with
notes of jams and sweet crystallized uits, brioche and honey. The palate is
sweet, rich and velvety, but with some eshness, leaving a long finish with
warm notes of marmalade and spices.
WINEMAKER
Francisco Albuquerque
GRAPE VARIETAL
The Malmsey grape is found
predominantly in the region of
São Jorge on the north of the
Madeira island. Possibly the most
well-known o the noble varieties,
the grape has high levels of both
sugar and acidity – a perfect
combination for this rich style of
Madeira.
