Madeira DOP
Blandy’s 1968 Sercial Madeira
Portuguese Fortified
$599.99
Mid-deep amber with an olive-green rim, opening on lifted smoke and a distinctly savoury note. The palate is dry but not austere, combining crystallised fruit with incisive acidity and remarkable intensity. Greengage brings a fresh, tart lift through the centre. The finish is mouthwatering and persistent, moving from fruit to fine woodsmoke and a final touch of savoury complexity.
Blandy’s 10 Year Old Malmsey Madeira NV
Portuguese Fortified
$84.99
Golden mahogany colour with greenish reflections accompanies wood, dried fruit, confectionery, caramel, floral tea, spices and honey. The entry is sweet and soft, with a smooth, full-bodied texture and notes of aged brandy and lightly smoked wood. Freshness, warmth, spice, smoked walnut and molasses are also present, and the finish is long. Malmsey is aged through the Canteiro system, and alcohol is nineteen percent.
Leacock’s 1969 Sercial Madeira
Portuguese Fortified
$499.99
An expressive mature Madeira in the drier Sercial style, with pronounced nuttiness, toffee and warm spice. The palate carries sweetness, though it remains notably less rich than Malmsey, with acidity keeping the wine lifted and composed. Long cask ageing has brought layered savoury complexity and a persistent finish. Its balance of caramelized depth and freshness makes it especially compelling alongside aged cheese.
Leacock’s 1963 Sercial Madeira
Portuguese Fortified
$599.99
Burnt orange peel and lime are joined by caramel and warm spice. The palate is dry-leaning and slightly tart, with deeply concentrated flavour, bright acidity and only a touch of sweetness. Its power is carried by freshness rather than weight, leading to a long, precise finish. Serve slightly cool in small pours with toasted almonds, aged cheese or savoury pastry.
Blandy’s 1987 Terrantez Madeira
Portuguese Fortified
$639.99
Toasted exotic woods and smoked dried fruit lead, followed by ground coffee, walnut and a light balsamic note. The palate begins sweet, then turns fresh and saline, with firm acidity bringing definition to the richness. Orange peel, kumquat and warm spice carry through an exceptionally persistent finish. Serve slightly cool in small pours with walnuts, blue cheese or fruitcake.
Blandy’s 1957 Bual Madeira
Portuguese Fortified
$749.99
Toffee, walnut and polished wood are joined by vanilla, dark chocolate and candied citrus. The palate is full-bodied and medium-sweet, yet vivid acidity keeps the mature richness in balance. Fig, date, orange marmalade and warm spice unfold through a long, gently warming finish, with a subtle balsamic lift. Serve slightly cool in small pours with blue cheese, fruitcake, nuts or dark chocolate.
