Blandy’s 10 Year Old Sercial Madeira

A large proportion of the sercial grapes are harvested in the upper slopes of the South of the Island where the cooler microclimate ensures these wines have very brisk acidity. The wine is fermented for 5 days before fortification resulting in a drier style. This wine is a blend of Madeira wines with an average age of 10 years in seasoned oak casks in the traditional ‘Canteiro’ system. After the aging
process, the wine is fined before bottling.

Bright crystalline golden citrine colour with golden reflections. It presents a characteristic bouquet of dried fruits macerated in brandy, dried and bitter almonds, candied citrus fruits, and spices. The attack is dry with a pleasant sensation of citrus freshness and dried fruits such as hazelnuts, with a long finish leaving notes of spices and exotic wood.
