Sercial is the driest varietal, with a late ripening and quite low in alcohol before fortification. Pale, light-bodied and dry, this is a fresh invigorating wine. Ferments for 5-6 days before fortification with grape brandy.
Pale, bright topaz color with a golden tinge, fresh with dry fruit, wood and citrus flavors with a fresh and nutty persistent finish.
Reviews
EDITOR'S CHOICE - In a recent series of entry-level Madeiras, this was a standout, offering excellent complexity and richness at a reasonable price. Nuts, toffee and dried fruit aromas and flavors swirl together, balancing moderate sweetness with harmonious acids. Long on the finish
Offers an aroma of dried white fruits, with white raspberry, saline and spice flavors that are dry and engaging. Saline notes linger on the fresh, vibrant finish, delivering hints of dried almond. Drink now through 2025.
Silver
Pale amber, caramel, toffee with moderate nuttiness of salted almonds. Green candied fruit with very bright acidity. Long lithe finish.
