2007 Blandy's Malmsey Colheita Single Harvest Madeira

2007 Blandy's Malmsey Colheita Single Harvest Madeira

Amber with golden nuance, a brilliant crystalline. Characteristic bouquet,
with notes of jam and marmalade, candied and dried fruits such as nuts and
hazelnuts. The palate is rich, soft, and sweet. The finish is fresh with notes
of wood and dried fruits macerated in brandy.

Blandy’s Malmsey 2007 was aged for 15 years in seasoned American oak
casks and as with all the family’s vintages, this wine started its aging process
in the warm high attic floors of the lodge in the center of Funchal. Over the
15 years, the wine passed down from the warmer top floor of the Blandy’s
Wine Lodges, the “Sotão de Amendoa” to the cooler first for the remaining
years. The art of finding the right balance between concentration and the
freshness of the wine lies in the winemaker’s decision when to transfer the
wine to the lower cooler north facing floors of the lodge.
