Blandy's Malmsey Colheita 1996 Madeira Wine (500 ml)

5/ 5

<p></p><p>Vinho da corda was one of the ways in which "liqueurs" were prepared before the arrival of brandy in the mid-17th century. The vines, once planted closer to the sea, were able to reach other degrees of ripeness, allowing for a naturally concentrated must. The technique consisted of first separating the flor wine, which was clearer and fresher, and then, from the last pressing, removing the "vinho da corda" with a more golden and loaded appearance, so fashionable at the time. This Vinho da Corda comes from the sunny vineyards of Porto Santo and shows the island's potential for these rich, authentic and naturally oxidative wines</p>

<p></p><p>The founders of D’Oliveiras were visionaries that saw the true value of Madeira Wine: its ability to improve over time. Therefore they started storing as much Madeira Wine as possible, letting it slowly mature inside the barrels for future generations to be able to enjoy it further. For that reason, D’Oliveiras is the only Madeira Wine company that owns Madeira Wine bottles and Barrels from as far as the 1850’s that can still be commercially purchased.</p>

<p>Brilliant topaz in colour with golden highlights, Cossart Gordon Colheita Bual 2008 reveals enticing aromas of figs, prunes, vanilla, and fine oak. On the palate, it is medium-sweet, smooth, and full-bodied, with flavours of dried fruit and toffee lifted by fresh acidity. The finish is long and elegant, making it a perfect choice to enjoy with desserts, fruit cakes, or to savour on its own as a contemplative wine.</p>
