1959 Madeira Blandy's Bual Fortificado

Description

For 200 years, Blandy's Madeira has been synonymous with quality Madeira wine. Blandy is the only family among all the original founders of the Madeira wine trade that still owns and runs its own original Madeira wine company. The family has played a significant role in leading the development of Madeira wine throughout its history, and family members continue to live in Madeira, upholding a tradition that dates back to 1811. The Madeira Wine Company was originally an association of several Madeira wine producers who decided to join forces to strengthen their buying and production capabilities. This association was founded in 1913. During the years of discord, the old family companies Blandy's and Leacock merged, followed immediately after by the dispute over Miles and Cossart Gordon, creating thus the largest producer and exporter of Madeira wine. Whatever its size, maintaining the unique characteristics and style of each individual company was at the heart of the association’s focus. By the late 1970s, interests in the Madeira Wine Company, as it was known, had been reduced to just a handful of the original families, with the Blandy family holding the controlling share. In 1989, the Blandy family, needing to strengthen the sales and marketing side of the business, invited the Symington family from Porto, Portugal, to join them in partnership. This partnership has continued to the present day, allowing the Madeira Wine Company to play a leadership role in the development of Madeira wine trade.
