Blandy's Madeira 10 Year Sercial (Small Format Bottle) 500ml
Product Details
Blandy's 10 year old Sercial is a blend of wines with an average of 10 years in seasoned American oak casks. The wines were aged at the family's Lodge in Funchal in the traditional "Canteiro" system, whereby the wine is gradually transferred from the higher floors where the temperatures are higher, to the middle floors and eventually to the ground floor where temperatures are cooler. The process of transferring the barrels is absolutely critical to ensure the right balance of ullage and concentration. All through the ageing process, the primary fruit flavors of the wine are gently transformed into tertiary dried fruit notes that produce unique Madeira hallmark bouquet.
Sercial probably originates from Bucelas near Lisboa, where it was traditionally grown under the name Esgana Cao, which literally means dog strangler, hinting at the fierce acidity of the wines. The family work with 30 Sercial farmers who account for the majority of the fruit grown on the island. Found either at 600 meters above sea level on the south of the island at Jardim da Serra, or at sea level on the north at Sexial and Porto Moniz.
