Madeira Wine Blandy’s 5 Years Bual 75cl<\/h4>\n
Region: Madeira, Portugal<\/div>\n
GRAPE VARIETIES:\u00a0<\/span>Bual<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
VINEYARDS:\u00a0<\/span>Various quality vineyards at Campan\u00e1rio and\u00a0<\/span>Calheta at altitudes of between 100 and 300m.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
VINIFICATION\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Blandy’s 5 year old Bual underwent\u00a0<\/span>fermentation off the skins with natural yeast at\u00a0<\/span>temperatures between 18\u00b0C – 21\u00b0C in\u00a0<\/span>temperature controlled stainless steel tanks.\u00a0<\/span>After approximately 3 days, fortification with\u00a0<\/span>grape brandy takes place, arresting\u00a0<\/span>fermentation at the desired degree of\u00a0<\/span>sweetness.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
MATURATION<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Blandy’s 5 year old Bual was aged in American\u00a0oak casks in the traditional ‘Canteiro’ system.\u00a0<\/span>This comprises of the gentle heating of the\u00a0<\/span>wine in the lofts of the lodges in Funchal. Over\u00a0<\/span>the years the wine is transferred from the top\u00a0<\/span>floors to the middle floors and eventually to the\u00a0<\/span>ground floor where it is cooler. After this\u00a0<\/span>gradual ‘estufagem’ the wine underwent racking\u00a0<\/span>and fining before the blend was assembled and\u00a0<\/span>bottled.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

PRESS COMMENTS<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
“Raisins, toffee and roast nuts on the nose. A complex, medium-weight wine with a superb\u00a0<\/span>tangy finish. A real tastebud teaser, this would\u00a0<\/span>make an excellent aperitif.”<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
