Blandy's - Madeira Rainwater
Blandy's Description
Various quality vineyards grown at between 300m and 400m on the north of the island near São Vicente. The vines are planted on terraced slopes with volcanic soil made up of dark clay and grit (Terra Grossa)and heavy clayey earth that does not drain water a nd cracks when dry (Massapez).
Rainwater underwent fermentation off the skins with natural yeast at between 24°C-26°C C in temperature
controlled stainless steel tanks. After approximately 4 days, fortification with grape brandy takes place, arresting
fermentation at the desired degree of sweetness.
Blandy's Rainwater 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.
