Blandy's - Malmsey Madeira 5 year old NV
Bouquet of raisins, toffee and nuts. Sweet with a rich, full bodied, honeyed and complex finish and beautifully balanced acidity. A superb accompaniment to dessert dishes, especially fruit, cakes, rich chocolate puddings and cheeses. Will keep for several months after opening. Aged in American oak casks in the traditional 'Canteiro' system. This comprises of the gentle heating of the wine in the lofts of the lodges in Funchal. Over the years the wine is transferred from the top floors to the middle floors and eventually to the ground floor where it is cooler. After this gradual 'estufagem' the wine underwent racking and fining before the blend was assembled and bottled.
