{"product_id":"blandy-s-duke-of-clarence-malmsey","title":"Blandy’s – Duke of Clarence Malmsey","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"288\" data-end=\"548\"\u003eThey say that Madeira reveals itself not through subtlety, but through contrast. Nowhere is this more evident than in Duke of Clarence Malmsey by Blandy’s, a wine that represents the accessible, hedonistic side of Madeira while remaining anchored in tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"550\" data-end=\"860\"\u003eBlandy’s is one of the oldest continuously operating houses on the island, and this cuvée reflects a commercial style developed for consistency rather than rarity. Unlike vintage or canteiro-aged Madeira, Duke of Clarence is produced to deliver a recognizable profile — rich, sweet, and immediately expressive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"862\" data-end=\"1198\"\u003eMade from Malvasia (Malmsey), the sweetest of Madeira’s classic grapes, the wine shows pronounced notes of caramel, raisins, toffee, and baked sugar, with underlying acidity providing structure. The sweetness is deliberate — this is not tension-driven Verdelho or Sercial, but a wine designed for approachability and immediate pleasure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1200\" data-end=\"1452\"\u003eThe condition of the bottle suggests standard commercial aging rather than extended cellaring. Label integrity, fill level, and capsule condition should be assessed visually, but in this category they do not carry the same weight as with older Madeira.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1454\" data-end=\"1575\"\u003eUnlike dry table wines, this bottle remains stable after opening and can be consumed over time without rapid degradation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"1577\" data-end=\"1580\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1582\" data-end=\"1812\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1582\" data-end=\"1595\"\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blandy’s\u003cbr data-start=\"1604\" data-end=\"1607\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1607\" data-end=\"1618\"\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Madeira, Portugal\u003cbr data-start=\"1636\" data-end=\"1639\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1639\" data-end=\"1650\"\u003eGrapes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Malvasia (Malmsey)\u003cbr data-start=\"1669\" data-end=\"1672\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1672\" data-end=\"1682\"\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fortified \/ Sweet\u003cbr data-start=\"1700\" data-end=\"1703\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1703\" data-end=\"1712\"\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 75cl\u003cbr data-start=\"1717\" data-end=\"1720\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1720\" data-end=\"1728\"\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e ~19%\u003cbr data-start=\"1733\" data-end=\"1736\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1736\" data-end=\"1749\"\u003eSulfites:\u003c\/strong\u003e Present\u003cbr data-start=\"1757\" data-end=\"1760\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1760\" data-end=\"1771\"\u003eMethod:\u003c\/strong\u003e Estufagem \/ Controlled Oxidative Aging\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Le Soleil Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52964168565002,"sku":null,"price":420.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/4042\/7530\/files\/ChatGPTImageMay1_2026at01_13_24PM.png?v=1777637619","url":"https:\/\/lesoleilwines.com\/pt\/products\/blandy-s-duke-of-clarence-malmsey","provider":"Le Soleil Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
