Blandy’s Malmsey 1978 is a sweet fortified wine from the island of Madeira. The 1978 vintage was highly successful, providing the heat necessary to ripen Malvasia to a high sugar level while maintaining structural acidity. Aged in the canteiro system, this wine has developed a deep mahogany colour and an exuberant, oxidative character over several decades in cask. The wine possesses a lush, viscous texture that is brilliantly offset by the island’s typical high acidity. The nose is dominated by dark chocolate, molasses, roasted coffee beans and dried figs. On the palate, it is rich and concentrated, delivering layers of treacle and spice, yet it remains lifted and vibrant on the finish.
