Description

This blend of 80% Tinta Negra and 20% Verdelho is aged in cask for 5 years naturally, without the addition of caramel and is designed to mimic the ‘Rainwater Style’ of Madeira. The origins of this style are ambiguous, (depending on who you speak to), but it is thought to derive from when the barrels were left outside and the wine inside took on a particular characteristic having been lashed by the Atlantic rains.  What we can be certain of is that this is a stunning style medium dry Madeira that has complex flavours of almonds, caramel, nuts and candied fruits.  The finish is long and balanced with terrific acidity.

Blended

The Blandy's 5 year old Rich Reserva is a Decanter Magazine Gold Medal winning Madeira from one of the islands finest producers.  Made with a 50/50 blend of Malmsey and Bual this is a sweet, rich and silky smooth fortified wine with excellent balanced acidity keeping the wine fresh and lively.  This is a Madeira for immediate enjoyment and shows the typical dried fruits, toffee and spice one would expect.  Delicious on its own as an after dinner drink, or with rich chocolate puddings and cheese.
