Hand-harvested Verdelho matures under the canteiro system in 650-litre casks until bottling. Golden colour accompanies candied and dried apricot, aged brandy and iodine.

Broadbent 10 Year Old Verdelho Madeira
Portuguese Fortified
$89.99
Brilliant golden-amber colour shows an apple-green rim, with delicate, refreshing fruit and floral aromas. The wine is medium dry, full-bodied, concentrated and fresh, with apricot and mandarin. A tangy, salty and creamy finish carries exotic fruit. Verdelho grapes are hand harvested, fermented in stainless steel and fortified after six to seven days, then aged in French and American oak under the Canteiro system.
Blandy’s 2000 Colheita Verdelho Madeira
Portuguese Fortified
$199.99
Deep topaz with green-gold highlights, opening on citrus peel, toasted nuts and warm spice. The palate is medium-dry, satiny and layered, with sultana, mocha and candied peel set against bright, tangy acidity. Wood and old-brandy notes add savoury depth without muting the fruit. The finish is exceptionally long and integrated, lingering on dried fruit, hazelnut, spice and lifted citrus freshness.
