Blandy’s is one of the most respected and historic names in Madeira, with a legacy that stretches back to 1811. Still family-owned and run by the 7th generation, the Blandys have played a central role in preserving and championing the unique traditions of Madeira winemaking.
They produce a full range of Madeira styles—from the drier Sercial and Verdelho to the richer Bual and Malmsey—each aged using the time-honoured canteiro system, where the wines mature slowly in seasoned casks under the warm conditions of the island’s ageing lodges.
Malmsey is rich, sweet with molasses and dark treacle notes, along with dark chocolate and dried fruits. The perfect accompaniment to Cristmas (or another rich) pudding and blue cheeses.
What the critics say:
"From Malvasia grown at São Jorge on the north coast. Deep amber with an olive-green glint. Rich but restrained on the nose; notes of fresh greengage with bolo de mel (Madeiran honey cake) and spice. Gloriously fresh crystalised and caramelised fruit; the richness (135g/l residual sugar) is offset by the cut, but not the thrust, of racy apple and citrus acidity, plus a touch of astringency which persists on the finish. Simply magnificent Malvasia!"
"The most rancio of the 2023 releases, this dense, balsamic, piquant, melted-toffee, fire-cracker-and-velvet wine is like a cathedral flooded with sunset through stained-glass windows, throbbing with the sound of choral chanting and organ pipes, cold with the worn stones of centuries. It tastes of the dust of time, the longing of prayers, the silence of loss, the sweetness of hope, of stones and wax and incense."
