Blandy's 10 Year Old Verdelho Medium Dry Madeira (75cl)

A medium dry Madeira from Blandy's, made from Verdelho. The grapes come from steep slopes on Madeira, with volcanic soils and Atlantic winds, and are fermented slowly before oxidative ageing in oak casks for a minimum of 10 years. It is golden amber, with vibrant aromas of orange peel, dried apricot, honey and subtle spice. The palate has bright citrus notes balanced by toasted nuts, caramel and a hint of minerality, with a long, elegant, slightly warming finish. It is excellent as an aperitif or with rich desserts, blue cheese, charcuterie and Madeira cake.
