Occasion & Buyer Profile

If you’re settling in for a quiet winter evening, this is a lovely choice for nights where you want something indulgent and expressive. If you’re hosting outdoors, it’s perfect for slow, end‑of‑day sipping when everyone is relaxed.

For celebrations, we’d recommend bringing this out during birthday dinners or festive gatherings. It’s ideal when you want to offer guests something different, especially if they enjoy exploring richer fortified styles.

Food Pairing

Food Pairing Suggestions

Here are a few serving suggestions and pairing ideas to help you get the most from this madeira, whether you’re enjoying it with food or simply savouring it on its own.

If you’re pouring this for a relaxed evening, we’d suggest starting with desserts like treacle tart, chocolate fondant or Christmas pudding to echo the wine’s indulgent sweetness. You might then enjoy cheese such as mature blue styles for a savoury contrast. And if you fancy something richer, beef dishes like foie gras or pâté offer a luxurious pairing.

Meet The Producer

Meet The Wine Producer Behind The Bottle

A brief look at the producer’s heritage and winemaking approach.

Blandy’s

Blandy’s is one of the most historic and respected names in Madeira wine, founded in 1811 by John Blandy, a young English wine merchant who settled on the island. The Blandy family quickly became one of the leading figures in Madeira’s wine trade, helping to shape the reputation of the island’s unique fortified wines around the world.

For more than two centuries, Blandy’s has remained closely connected to Madeira’s winemaking heritage, with the family playing an important role in preserving traditional production methods while adapting to changing markets. The company is still managed by the Blandy family, making it one of the few remaining independent Madeira producers with such a long-standing history.

Today, Blandy’s is recognised globally as a benchmark producer of Madeira, combining generations of expertise with a commitment to quality, tradition and the distinctive character of this remarkable island wine.

FAQs For Blandy's Harvest Malmsey 2017

How is this wine made?

Produced from the Malvasia grape, this Malmsey is crafted using Madeira’s traditional fortified‑wine methods. The wine develops its signature sweetness and depth through careful ageing, allowing dried‑fruit richness and mocha‑spice warmth to emerge naturally.

What does Harvest Madeira mean?

Harvest Madeira, also known as Colheita Madeira, is produced from grapes harvested in a single vintage. Unlike age-statement Madeiras, which are blends from multiple years, Harvest Madeira reflects the unique character of one specific harvest.

What is the difference between Harvest Madeira and 10 Year Old Madeira?

Harvest Madeira comes from a single vintage, allowing it to express the character of one growing season. A 10 Year Old Madeira is typically a blend of several vintages designed to maintain a consistent house style.

Can Harvest Madeira be cellared?

Yes. Madeira is one of the world's longest-lived wines, and Harvest Madeira can continue to develop beautifully when stored under suitable conditions.
