Blandy's Colheita Verdelho 2011

Blandy's Colheita Verdelho is a single-harvest Madeira crafted from Verdelho, traditionally expressing a medium-dry profile. Its character combines dried and candied fruit, citrus, toasted nuts, spice and oxidative complexity with lively acidity. Extended cask maturation brings concentration and depth while preserving freshness through the persistent finish.

Food Pairing: Pairs best with smoked fish, roasted almonds, hard cheeses, pates, or savory appetizers.

Verdelho has produced a medium-dry Madeira, balancing old-wood aging flavors with a soft texture and the spirit coming through from the wood aging. It is ready to drink. - Roger Voss
