Blandy's 10 Year Old Verdelho Madeira DOC

Madeira Wine Region, Portugal

Off-dry Madeira from Verdelho grapes — the classic food-friendly style. Smoke, dried citrus, honey, and almonds with the characteristic Madeira tangy finish. Versatile from aperitif to dessert; traditionally paired with turtle soup in Georgian England.

Pairing intelligence

• starter: Historical pairing from Victorian dining; Verdelho's smoky complexity enriches clear beef broth with oxidative depth
• starter: Verdelho's smoke and dried citrus mirror the duck preparation; off-dry balance works with rich poultry fat
• starter: Georgian-era pairing tradition; Verdelho's tangy acidity cuts rich offal while smoke and honey add complexity
