This wine, produced by the historic Blandy's winery, one of Madeira's oldest and most respected producers, reflects the skill and tradition in the art of creating fortified wines of exceptional quality.
The Sercial grape variety, grown in the highest areas of the island of Madeira, is famous for its ability to produce wines with a high level of acidity and a subtle aromatic complexity, characteristics that marry perfectly with Madeira's specific aging method. Aging for 5 years, following the traditional "canteiro" process, further enhances these qualities, allowing the wine to develop aromatic depth and variety while maintaining its unmistakable freshness.
During the "canteiro" process, the barrels are stored in warm environments which facilitate slow oxidation and evaporation, helping to concentrate the flavors and harmonize the overall profile of the wine. This method guarantees that the Sercial aged 5 years acquires its unique and distinctive characteristics, becoming a notable example of the dry typology of Madeira.
Visually, the 5-year-old Blandy's Sercial presents a pale gold color, which reflects its elegance and finesse. On the nose, it offers a range of intriguing aromas ranging from citrus and dried fruit notes to nuances of aromatic herbs and a light touch of wood, due to aging in barrels. These aromas are intertwined with a subtle minerality that adds complexity to the bouquet.
In the mouth, the wine surprises with its liveliness, with a marked acidity that balances the light intrinsic sweetness and leads to a long and dry finish. The structure of Blandy's Sercial aged 5 years is refined, with flavors that reflect the olfactory notes and add dimensions of freshness and cleanliness to the palate.
Ideal as an aperitif, Blandy's Sercial aged 5 years can also accompany a variety of dishes, especially those based on fish, seafood or dishes that require a wine with strong acidity to balance the flavors. Its versatility and elegant dry profile make it a valuable addition to any table or wine collection, offering a tasting experience that highlights the richness and diversity of Madeira wines.
