Verdelho Blandy's 1979

Madère | Blanc | 1979

This wine from Blandy’s perfectly exemplifies traditional winemaking expertise. Aged for 36 years in American oak barrels, this Verdelho has matured patiently through three distinct stages, first benefiting from warmth and then from coolness, to reach its full potential. The result is a semi-dry wine of remarkable complexity, combining notes of dried fruit, spices, and dark chocolate, balanced by a refreshing acidity.
