The Broadbent name has been synonymous with fine wine for more than six decades, beginning with the renowned career of British wine writer, auctioneer and Master of Wine, Michael Broadbent, and continuing with his son, the importer Bartholomew. Bartholomew Broadbent’s deep roots in Portugal inspired him to create his own range of Ports, Madeiras, and table wine. Bartholomew’s love for Portuguese wines stems from their eminent drinkability, restrained alcohol levels, and the balance, which makes them versatile enough to pair with all kinds of everyday dining. Bartholomew worked on building the market for at least 10 major Port brands, so it was only natural that his next step would be to develop his own. He was looking to make wines that were friendly on the palate, yet with enough quality to please the discriminating connoisseur at an affordable price.
