Blandy’s Verdelho 1982 was aged for 41 years in seasoned American oak
casks and as with all the family’s vintages, this wine started its ageing process
in the warm high attic floors of the lodge in the centre of Funchal. Over the
41 years, the wine passed down from the warmer top floor of the Blandy’s
Wine Lodges, the “Sotão de Amendoa” where it spent the first 5 years, to the
second floor for 25+ years and finally to the cooler first for the remaining 6
years. The art of finding the right balance between concentration and the
freshness of the wine lies in the winemaker’s decision when to transfer the
wine to the lower cooler north facing floors of the lodge.
