Blandy's, Madeira Verdelho 10 Year, (500ml)
is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
Verdelho sits in the middle of Madeira’s sweetness spectrum—and Blandy’s 10-Year expression captures its balance beautifully. Aged for a decade in seasoned American oak casks using the traditional canteiro method, it delivers a wine that’s as much about freshness as it is about complexity.
Expect aromas of roasted nuts, dried citrus peel, sea spray, and a hint of curry spice. On the palate, it’s medium-bodied and vibrant, with tangy acidity and flavors of candied orange, toasted almond, and burnt sugar, followed by a long, savory finish that flirts with salinity. The oxidative aging gives it nutty richness, but Verdelho’s natural acidity keeps it lifted and precise.
In the 500ml format, it’s perfect for sipping slowly—whether as an aperitif, alongside aged cheese, or with dishes like mushroom pâté or spiced nuts. Blandy’s Verdelho 10-Year is a brilliant introduction to the magic of Madeira: bright, balanced, and built to last even once opened.
