Blandy’s 10 Year Old
This new edition 10-year-old range has been crafted using age-old techniques of the past, combined with detailed knowledge on how each
varietal evolves in the company’s 12 different ageing rooms in 2 very different locations – The Blandy’s Wine Lodge in Funchal and the Winery in
Caniçal. This has allowed us to age our wines in very specific locations to make the most of the conditions best suited to each varietal.
Manual harvest with qualitative selection during several periods according to the maturation state. Undergoes pellicular maceration followed by fermentation with natural yeast at temperatures between 18°C - 21°C in temperature-controlled tanks. The fortification with alcohol 96% v/v (grape origin) takes place, arresting fermentation at the desired degree of sweetness. These wines are blends of Madeira wines with an average age of 10 years in seasoned oak casks in the traditional ‘Canteiro’ system. After the aging process, the wine is fined before bottling.
