  • Description

    This new edition 10-year-old Sercial in a full 75cl bottle format has been crafted using age-old techniques of the past, combined with detailed knowledge on how each varietal evolves in the company’s 12 different ageing rooms in 2 very different locations – The Blandy’s Wine Lodge in Funchal and the Winery in Caniçal. This has allowed us to age our wines in very specific locations to make the most of the conditions best suited to each varietal.

    Tasting Notes:
    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.

    Serving Tips & Storage Blandy's 10 year old Sercial is fined and does not require decanting. It is excellent as an aperitif but is also exceedingly good with with duck or tuna dishes, flambées, dried fruits and spicy cheeses. It has been bottled when ready for drinking and will keep for several months after opening.

    Winemaking:
    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.

    Cellarage
    This wine should be stored upright in a dark room with constant temperature, ideally no higher than 16ºC.

    Blandy's Madeira has been synonymous with quality Madeira wine for over 200 years. The Blandy's are unique in being the only family of all the original founders of the Madeira wine trade to still own and manage their own original wine company. The family has played a leading role in the development of Madeira wine throughout its long history and members of the family continue to live on Madeira, maintaining a tradition that goes back to 1811.
