The modern brand was created in 2013 and revives the name of George Blackett, a nineteenth-century Port merchant. Alchemy Wines connects this historical reference with modern Douro production.
Blackett stresses Douro mountain viticulture, schist soils, old vines and prolonged barrel ageing. Publicly documented details about individual owned quintas are limited.
The range covers White, Ruby and Tawny as well as LBV and Vintage. Documented bottlings include 10, 20, 30 and 40 Year Old Tawny and a 10 Year Old White.
Blackett is a modern revival of a historic name rather than an uninterrupted continuation of the old merchant house.
