Blandy's is one of Madeira's most historic and respected houses, with a legacy dating back to 1811. The 10 Year Old Verdelho is a benchmark expression of the island's medium dry style, combining the variety's characteristic bright acidity with a decade of oxidative ageing to produce a wine of layered complexity and remarkable finesse. A classic from one of the world's most distinctive fortified wine regions.
Why You'll Love It
Madeira is one of the wine world's great survivors, and Blandy's is its most trusted name. The Verdelho style sits beautifully in the middle of the sweetness spectrum, lively and fresh enough to serve as an aperitif, yet rich and complex enough to partner with food or dessert. Ten years of careful ageing in oak casks gives this wine a depth and smoothness that is hard to find at this price point.
Vineyard & Production
The Verdelho grapes are sourced from carefully tended vineyards on the steep slopes of Madeira, where volcanic soils and Atlantic winds develop the variety's characteristic freshness and intensity. After hand harvesting, the grapes are fermented slowly to preserve aromatic purity before the wine undergoes oxidative ageing in oak casks for a minimum of 10 years, building complexity and a rounded, smooth texture.
Tasting Notes
Golden amber in colour. The nose opens with vibrant aromas of orange peel, dried apricot, honey, and subtle spice. On the palate, bright citrus notes are balanced by toasted nuts, caramel, and a hint of minerality. The finish is long, elegant, and slightly warming, showcasing the wine's age and finesse.
Perfect Pairings
Excellent as an aperitif or alongside rich desserts such as almond tart, fruitcake, and creme brulee. Also a superb match for blue cheese, charcuterie, or a classic Madeira cake.

Evidence boundary
This page combines the recorded bottle identity with linked source records. An exact region-name match supplies regional context but does not prove that this bottle carries the protected designation. A vineyard is only shown as bottle-level evidence when a wine-to-vineyard link exists. BottlePicker does not infer a vineyard, soil or site climate from a retailer title.
