Blandy’s Malmsey Rich 15 Anos

Blandy’s Malvasia 15 years old fermentes with natural yeasts at a temperature between 18 and 21ºC in stainless steel vats with controlled temperature. Approximately after 48 hours, the fortification is carried out with wine alcohol (96%), in order to preserve the desired natural sugar content. It is aged for 15 years in American oak casks following the traditional ‘Canteiro’ process. This includes a delicate heating of the wine in the attic of the warehouses in Funchal. Over the years, the wine is transferred from the upper floors to the intermediate floors, and eventually to the floor level where it is cooler. After this ‘gradual stuffing’, the wine is filtered and clarified before being bottled. Clear color and intense golden brown and a pronounced tear. Characteristic bouquet of great complexity of nuts and wood, caramel and vanilla. Sweet, soft, full-bodied and complex, with a long finish of dried fruit and dark chocolate. Contains sulfites.
