Regional information: Madeira is situated about 1100kms off the coast of Portugal. The island relief is steep with a mountain range running the length of the island. The vineyards are planted between 200-800 m in altitude on some of the world's steepest slopes. The terrain makes it impossible to mechanise the vineyards, so they are tended to by hand.
Tasting notes: In the glass it displays a rich amber colour with tinges of gold. On the nose there is a bouquet of dried fruit, vanilla and spice. On the palate it's sweetness is balanced by refreshing acidity and is silky smooth with flavours of figs, prunes and a long finish of caramel and spices.
Alcohol by volume: 19.
Producer: Blandy's.
Serving suggestions: Serving Temperature 15°C. It is best savoured after a meal on its own, or with dessert to appreciate its mellowed robust character to the full.
Vinification details: Fermentation is off the skins with natural yeasts in stainless steel tanks. Fortification with grape brandy arrests fermentation at the desired sweetness level. The wine is then aged in the traditional 'Canteiro' system: stored in the lodge in oak barrels, initially in the loft where the gentle warming of the wine and the impact of the wood gives that wonderful caramel taste to Madeira wines.
