Cossart Gordon & Co
Cossart Gordon & Co
Founded in 1745, Cossart Gordon & Co. represents the oldest company in the Madeira trade. It was originally founded by Scotsmen, Grancis Newton and William Gordon, who were later joined in 1808 by William Cossart. The company established a reputation as purveyors of Madeira's best, mainly due to their trading relationship with American colonies. Madeira is known for its varietal wines, which have come to define the wine's style over time. Shortly after the discovery of the island, the first settlers planted grapes that were common in mainland Portugal, with the exception of "Malvasia" or Malmsey which originated in the Mediterranean.
