This is the first wine within the Madeira wine trade made using two of the island’s traditional white grape varietals – 50% Malmsey and 50% Bual. The result is a wine that incorporated the luscious, silky, honey suckle Malmsey with the tropical fruit and spiciness of Bual.

John Blandy first set foot on Madeira in 1808 to work in the accounting office of Newton, Gordon, Murdoch, wine merchants. In 1811 he established his own company. Today, under Chris Blandy, the family continue to own and operate the Madeira Wine Company, preserving a tradition that has lasted for over 200 years and through seven generations. The Blandy family is distinguished by being the only founding family to still own and run their own original wine company. Throughout its long history on the island, the family has played a leading role in the development of Madeira Wine. Its members continue to live in Madeira. Thus maintaining a tradition that dates back to 1811 – two centuries of producing a wine of excellence. The Bual and Malmsey used to make this wine were aged separately, they are blends of different stocks of Malmsey, which spent an average of 5 years aging in oak barrels in the method called “Canteiro”, in the centuries-old Blandy’s Wine Lodge. Lovely golden-chestnut colour with a fine golden rim. Characteristic and classic Madeira bouquet of dried fruits, toffee and hints of oak and spices. Sweet, very rich, smooth and full-bodied, balanced by a very fine acidity. A long aftertaste with notes of honey and spicy oak. The Blandy’s reserva 5 years old is fined and does not require decanting. It is a superb accompaniment to dessert dishes, especially fruit, cakes, chocolate puddings and soft cheeses. It has been bottled when ready for drinking and will keep for several months after opening.
