Blandy’s is the historic Madeira wine house founded by John Blandy in 1811 — the only family among the original founders of the Madeira wine trade that still owns and runs its firm. Its Colheita Madeiras hold fixed-assortment listings at Sweden’s Systembolaget (Malmsey art. 783302, Sercial art. 7026302).
Blandy’s reaches Sweden through Systembolaget’s fixed assortment, where its Colheita Malmsey (article 783302) and Colheita Sercial (article 7026302) give the Funchal house permanent shelf presence across the Swedish monopoly network — the Sercial praised for its balance of dried apricot, nut and spice notes over bright acidity.
The house traces to 1811, when John Blandy settled on Madeira and founded the firm with his brothers; more than two centuries later the Blandy family remains the only one of the island’s founding wine dynasties still owning and operating its original business.
Madeira is a category where heritage brands dominate monopoly buying, and Blandy’s fixed-assortment slots are among the most durable Portuguese listings anywhere in the Nordic monopolies — a two-century-old trade route from Funchal to northern Europe that still runs.
