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. Bual is medium rich, like a 30 year old+ Tawny Port, with vanilla, butterscotch, raisin, dried fig and sweet pastry notes.
