WINE DESCRIPTION

Blandy's Malmsey Madeira is a premium fortified wine produced by Blandy's, a renowned winery in Madeira, Portugal. This wine is made from the Malvasia grape variety grown in the volcanic soils of the island. The vineyards are located on steep slopes, which provide excellent drainage and exposure to the sun. The grapes are harvested by hand and then fermented in stainless steel tanks before being fortified with grape spirit. The wine is then aged in oak barrels for several years, which gives it a rich and complex flavor profile. Blandy's Malmsey Madeira is a sweet wine with notes of caramel, toffee, and dried fruits, making it a perfect dessert wine or aperitif.

ORIGINS

Winery: Blandy's

Region: Madeira

Madeira is a fortified wine produced on the Portuguese archipelago of the same name, located in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Morocco. The island is known for its unique terroir, which has been used to produce wine since the 15th century. Madeira has a long and storied history, with the first vines planted in the 15th century by Portuguese settlers. The island's unique climate and geography, with its steep slopes and warm temperatures, made it ideal for producing wine. The island's wines quickly gained popularity in Europe, and by the 18th century, Madeira was the oine of the most popular wines in the world. Today, Madeira is still produced in the traditional way, with the grapes grown on the island's steep slopes and aged in barrels for up to 20 years. The wines are known for their unique flavor and complexity, and are often served as an aperitif or dessert wine.
