BLANDY INTRODUCES ALVADA 
“Lovely dark brown colour. Christmas spice and lime character on nose. Good weight. Lime marmalade on palate. Strong alcohol. Good balance and good length.”

Blandy’s Alvada
Blandy’s has thrown away the rule-book to create a striking
new Madeira.
Both the modern packaging and the new style of Alvada 5 Year Old Madeira have been designed with contemporary tastes in mind.
It is virtually unheard of for a Madeira wine to be blended from two of the classic grape varieties.
But in order to provide something new for existing Madeira drinkers and to tempt new drinkers on board,
Alvada combines Malmsey for its classic richness and Bual for its subtle dry fruit and apricot notes.
The result? Alvada retains the rich opulence of traditional Madeira yet lifts it with a fresh twist.
The contemporary palate confirms the first impressions of the stylish, new packaging.
The combined effect portrays Madeira in a modern light and the bottle-size positions it firmly in the dessert wine category.
