概要

John Leacock sailed to Madeira from the United Kingdom following the death of his father in 1741 and at the age of 15 became the youngest apprentice in the firm of Madeira merchants, Catanach and Murdoch, staying until his contract expired on 11 March 1749. During his apprenticeship, he had been in constant contact with an old friend, John Patient, resident at that time in Charlestown, South Carolina, who suggested that they begin trading themselves. Leacock agreed and this marked the birth of the now world-famous company. By 1925 the wine industry was going through hard times and so both Leacock's and Blandy's pooled their interests and joined the Madeira Wine Association, now the Madeira Wine Company. Leacock's is now one of the company's main brands and its main markets include the United States of America, the Scandinavian countries, and the United Kingdom.

The Madeira Wine Company was originally an association of several Madeira wine producing companies, who decided to join forces to strengthen their buying and winemaking capabilities. This Association was founded in 1913. During the years of discord, the old family companies of Blandy's and Leacock joined together, followed immediately after the dispute by Miles and Cossart Gordon, thus creating the largest producer and exporter of Madeira wine. Whatever the size, maintaining the unique characteristics and style of each individual company was at the centre of the association's attention. By the late 1970s, interests in the Madeira Wine Company, as it became known, were reduced to just a handful of the original families with the Blandy family holding the controlling share. In 1989 the Blandy family, needing to strengthen the sales and marketing side of the business, invited the Symington family of Oporto, Portugal to join them in partnership. This partnership has continued to the present day, allowing the Madeira Wine Company to play a leading role in the development of the Madeira Wine trade.
