Ageing Blandy's Duke of Sussex was transferred to 'estufa' tanks where the wine underwent a cyclic heating and cooling process between 45°C and 50°C over a period of 3 months. After 'estufagem' the wine was aged for three years in American oak casks and then underwent racking and fining before the blend was assembled and bottled.
Consumption Excellent aperitif wine, but is also exceedingly good with creamy starters, fish dishes and Indian cuisine. It has been bottled when ready for drinking and will keep for several months after opening.
Aroma A light, delicate Madeira with clean fresh nutty flavours.
Flavour The finish is delicate and refreshing, and bursting with tangy, sweet lime.
Awards Gold Medal – International Wine Challenge 1998
