10 Years Old Bual

Blandy’s Madeira was founded by John Blandy in 1811 and is well-known for producing quality Madeira, a fortified wine, from Portugal’s island of the same name, several hundred kilometers west off the northwest coast of Africa. The Blandy family is one of the original founding families of the Maderia wine trade and is the only family to still own and operate their original wine company on the island of Maderia.

A fruity, spicy Madeira, this 10-year-old Blandy's Madeira is made with 100% Bual grapes. Matured for 10 years in seasoned American oak casks, using the Canteiro system of gradually moving the casks from the higher, warmer floors down to the lower floors where the temperature is much cooler. 

Soft aromas of Seville orange marmalade, quince, honeycomb and walnuts lead the nose. The palate offers well-balanced notes of marmalade, cinnamon, cardamom and candied orange peel, with a hint of ginger in the finish.
