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.
Miles Rainwater Medium Dry Madeira
Portuguese Fortified
$26.99
Topaz colour with golden reflections leads to dried fruit, orange peel and wood. The palate is medium-dry, with refreshing citrus character and a long finish. Fermentation uses natural yeasts in temperature-controlled stainless steel before fortification. The wine then undergoes three months of heating and cooling, followed by three years in American oak. It contains eighteen percent alcohol.

Broadbent 10 Year Old Verdelho Madeira
Portuguese Fortified

Brilliant golden-amber colour shows an apple-green rim, with delicate, refreshing fruit and floral aromas. The wine is medium dry, full-bodied, concentrated and fresh, with apricot and mandarin. A tangy, salty and creamy finish carries exotic fruit. Verdelho grapes are hand harvested, fermented in stainless steel and fortified after six to seven days, then aged in French and American oak under the Canteiro system.

Sercial makes one of the driest styles of fortified wine. Grapes are hand harvested, fermented in stainless steel and fortified after eight to ten days, then aged in French and American oak under the Canteiro system.
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.
Blandy’s 2000 Colheita Verdelho Madeira
Portuguese Fortified
$199.99
Deep topaz with green-gold highlights, opening on citrus peel, toasted nuts and warm spice. The palate is medium-dry, satiny and layered, with sultana, mocha and candied peel set against bright, tangy acidity. Wood and old-brandy notes add savoury depth without muting the fruit. The finish is exceptionally long and integrated, lingering on dried fruit, hazelnut, spice and lifted citrus freshness.
Blandy’s 10 Year Old Bual Madeira 3 L
Portuguese Dessert
$319.99
Rich raisin, fig and orange-marmalade aromas sit over caramel, vanilla and toasted walnut. The palate is medium-sweet and concentrated, with maple-like depth balanced by Madeira’s firm acidity, so the sweetness remains energetic rather than heavy. Dried fruit and gentle spice carry through a long, complex finish. Serve lightly chilled with blue cheese, nut tart or caramelized desserts, or pour a small glass after dinner.
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.

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.

Serve slightly cool in small pours with blue cheese, fruitcake, nuts or dark chocolate.
