1984 Madeira Blandy's Verdelho Fortificado

Description

For 200 years, Blandy's Madeira has been synonymous with quality Madeira wine. Blandy, the only family among all the founders of the Madeira wine trade that still owns and runs its original Madeira wine company, has played a key role in leading the development of Madeira wine throughout its history. The family members still live on Madeira, preserving 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 purchasing and wine production capacities. This association was founded in 1913. During the years of discord, the old family companies of Blandy’s and Leacock merged, followed immediately by the dispute over Miles and Cossart Gordon, thus creating the largest producer and exporter of Madeira wine. Regardless of size, maintaining the unique characteristics and style of each individual company was at the heart of the association’s focus. By the late 1970s, the interests in the Madeira Wine Company, as it had become known, had been reduced to just a handful of the original families, with the Blandy family holding the controlling stake. In 1989, the Blandy family, needing to bolster 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 leading role in developing the Madeira wine trade.
