The rich-styled Malmsey is the most famous of the Madeira varietals, located mostly today in the region of São Jorge on the North of the island. Matured at the Blandy's Wine Lodges for 10 years in the centre of Funchal, this wine has a marmalade, fig and sugar-scented bouquet with a clear and persistent zingy acidity on the palate. A superb accompaniment to dessert dishes, especially rich chocolate cakes.

Other Information
Madeira wine is famed for its unparalleled ability to age. At Blandy's wines are still ageing from 1920 and there are bottles dating back to the late 1700s. They are also famous for their ability to remain fresh (almost indefinitely) once opened. This is thanks to the unique maturation process it undergoes and the high acidity of the wines, the latter of which gives them a fresh zingy character.
