Description and Reviews:
A fabulous gift comprising the four main styles of Madeira wine which makes for a wonderful tasting experience. A great introduction to the world of Madeira wine.

Blandy's Madeira has been synonymous with quality Madeira wine for over 200 years. The Blandy's are unique in being the only family of all the original founders of the Madeira wine trade to still own and manage their own original wine company. The family has played a leading role in the development of Madeira wine throughout its long history and members of the family continue to live on Madeira, maintaining a tradition that goes back to 1811.
