The family has played a leading role in the development of\nMadeira wine since the early nineteenth century. Blandy’s Madeira remains\ntotally dedicated to the traditions, care, and craftsmanship of Madeira Wine\nfor over 200 years.\nTHE WINEMAKING\nBlandy’s Malmsey 2010 was aged for 13 years in seasoned American oak\ncasks and as with all the family’s vintages, this wine started its aging process\nin the warm high attic floors of the lodge in the center of Funchal. Over the\n13 years, the wine passed down om the warmer top floor of the Blandy’s\nWine Lodges, the “Sotão de Amendoa” to the cooler first for the remaining\nyears. The art of finding the right balance between concentration and the\neshness of the wine lies in the winemaker’s decision when to transfer the\nwine to the lower cooler north facing floors of the lodge.\nTASTING NOTE\nAmber, clear and bright, with golden nuances. A characteristic nose, with\nnotes of jams and sweet crystallized uits, brioche and honey. The palate is\nsweet, rich and velvety, but with some eshness, leaving a long finish with\nwarm notes of marmalade and spices.\nWINEMAKER\nFrancisco Albuquerque\nGRAPE VARIETAL\nThe Malmsey grape is found\npredominantly in the region of\nSão Jorge on the north of the\nMadeira island. Possibly the most\nwell-known o the noble varieties,\nthe grape has high levels of both\nsugar and acidity – a perfect\ncombination for this rich style of\nMadeira.\nBOTTLED\n\nSTORAGE \u0026amp; SERVING\nThis wine should be stored upright\nin a dark room with constant\ntemperature, ideally no higher than\n61ºF. As the wine is completely\nstabilized, it is recommended to pull\nthe cork at least 2 day before\nenjoying this wine. Decanting will\nhelp remove any deposit that may\nhave occurred in bottle over time.\nThis wine should be enjoyed chilled.\nWINE SPECIFICATION\nAlcohol: 20 % vol\nTotal acidity: 7.0 g\/l tartaric acid\nResidual Sugar: 112 g\/l\n\nSCORES\n92 Points, Wine Spectator, 2024\n92 Points, Wine Enthusiast, 2023\nCellar Sellection","brand":"Blandy's","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47314317574368,"sku":"123700","price":130.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9713\/0464\/files\/blandy-s-malmsey-madeira-colheita_1.jpg?v=1746132355","url":"https:\/\/www.mywineconnection.com\/products\/blandys-malmsey-madeira-colheita-2010-750ml","provider":"My Wine Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
