Wine Description:
Michael Broadbent, a distinguished figure in the world of wine and a Master of Wine from England, held the prestigious position of Chief Auctioneer at Christie's. Under his leadership, Christie's wine department became the foremost among auction houses. Renowned for his legendary affection for Madeira, he, along with his son Batholomew, founded Broadbent Wines in 1987. This company specialized in crafting their own Madeira and Port wines. Their success in reintroducing Madeira to the American market, where it was once considered among the best and most famous wines before Prohibition, reestablished its prominence. Additionally, the Broadbents ventured into Vinho Verde, producing fine, light, and classic examples.
