VINIFICATION<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

After approximately 48\u00a0<\/span>hours, fortification with grape brandy takes\u00a0<\/span>place, arresting fermentation at the desired\u00a0<\/span>degree of sweetness.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

PRESS COMMENTS<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
“This tasty, well-priced, pudding all-rounder is\u00a0softly sweet with nuances of honey and raisin\u00a0<\/span>flavours. A great buy.”<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
The Sunday Express\u00a0Julie Arkell Dec 99\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“I love Madeira, and Blandy’s is one of the\u00a0<\/span>best-value operators on the island. Duke of\u00a0<\/span>Clarence is toffeed, ripe and nutty, with ample\u00a0<\/span>sweetness on the mid-palate, and a clean, tart\u00a0<\/span>finish. It is the all-round cake specialist \u00a0<\/span>working superbly with ginger, chocolate and\u00a0<\/span>coffee.”<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
