Ageing |
Blandy’s 15 Year Old Bual was aged for 15 years in seasoned American oak casks in the traditional ‘Canteiro’ system, whereby the casks of this wine are gradually transferred from the top floors of the lodge, where it is naturally warmer, to the middle floors and eventually to the ground floor where it is cooler. During this totally natural ageing, the wine underwent regular racking before finally being bottled. |
Consumption |
Blandy's 15 year old Bual is fined and does not require decanting. It is a superb
accompaniment to dessert dishes, especially fruit, cakes, rich chocolate puddings and
cheeses. It has been bottled when ready for
drinking and will keep for several months after
