A UNIQUE OFFERING OF MADEIRA FROM THE ISLAND LOTS 1-157 Rare Madeira has been regularly offered at Christie's, from the first sale James Christie took in 1766 In January 2013 we visited a number of collectors with the idea of bringing together a unique range of Madeira, directly from the island. Talking with some of the old Madeira family members about vintage bottles, we discovered very rare wines that had never been seen before at auction. We had the feeling of going back in history and were sure that this selection would be unique in its form and content. We were able to check and taste a lot of wines prior to bottling or recorking. Most of the recorking was professionally done by Fransisco Albuquerque from The Madeira Wine Company, 3 times Fortified Winemaker of the Year. In September we visited Madeira again to pack and prepare all the bottles for shipment to the UK We are proud to be able to offer you the chance to acquire some great and very rare Madeira wines, from private cellars on the island as well as rare collections coming from the Blandy and Borges family reserves. Now lying in Weybridge, Surrey (EHD) Offered in bond, available duty-paid Blandy's Demijohn Collection In 1925 the well-established family firm of Blandy's joined the Madeira Wine Association making it the leading producer of premium Madeira. By 1981 the Blandy family had the controlling interest and changed the name to Madeira Wine Company. The Blandy's were important in developing the name and exports of Madeira wine, focusing on quality. In the centre of Funchal the Old Blandy Wine Lodge, dating from the 17th century, is a popular destination for visitors to the island. For this special Christie's auction the Blandy family gathered a range of "forgotten" demijohns, coming from the old lodge in town. Christie's staff tasted all these wines prior to bottling. The wines in the demijohn selection have never been offered for regular sale and are therefore a unique chance to acquire some great rare vintage Madeira's. Given the limited quantities these wines might never again appear for sale. We recommend anyone to have a serious look at these wines and wish you good luck in acquiring some of these great Madeira's. Cossart Gordon Bual Solera 1845 Damaged wax capsule.
