Description

Cossart, Gordon & Co. was established by Francis Newton, a young Scot, in 1745 and is the oldest company in the Madeira wine trade. By 1850, the firm was said to be shipping "half the growth of the island" leading to the company acquiring an unequaled reputation as suppliers of fine Madeiras. In 1808, the Scottish dominance over the firm was broken with the arrival of William Cossart, an Irishman descended from a distinguished Huguenot family of France. The title of the firm eventually became known as the now world-famous Cossart, Gordon & Co. The Cossart family has remained among the most influential on the island for nearly two centuries.

Portugal

Portugal is known for its fortified Port wines from the Douro Valley and the crisp, refreshing Vinho Verde from the Minho region. The Douro Valley’s steep terraces and schist soils produce rich, complex Ports with flavors of dark fruit, chocolate, and spice. Vinho Verde’s cool, rainy climate yields light, aromatic whites with high acidity and citrus notes. Portugal’s diverse wine regions offer a wide range of styles, from robust reds to elegant whites, reflecting the country’s unique terroirs.
