Description

The 1910 D’Oliveiras Sercial is an extraordinary and historic Madeira, crafted from one of the island’s noblest grape varieties and matured for well over a century. Sercial, renowned for producing the driest and most elegant style of Madeira, is celebrated for its piercing acidity, refined citrus character, and astonishing ability to age for generations. Bottled by D’Oliveiras—one of Madeira’s most respected and traditional producers—this 1910 vintage is not just a wine, but a living piece of vinous history from the dawn of the 20th century.

In the glass, it displays a deep amber-gold core with glints of green at the rim, a classic hallmark of extreme age in fine Madeira. The bouquet is incredibly complex and lifted, offering aromas of candied lemon peel, Seville orange, and quince, intertwined with toasted almond, sea breeze salinity, and hints of curry spice. Undertones of varnished wood, honey, and dried herbs add even more depth, while the wine’s high-toned freshness promises vibrancy on the palate.

On tasting, the 1910 Sercial is electric—dry, racy, and mouthwatering, with an extraordinary balance between intense citrus and stone fruit flavours and a razor-sharp acidity that defies its age. Layers of salted caramel, hazelnut, and savoury spice unfold alongside preserved lemon, chamomile, and subtle smoke. The palate is taut and precise, yet immensely concentrated, leading to a finish that goes on for minutes, resonating with citrus zest, saline minerality, and warm spice.

This is a Madeira for true connoisseurs, best enjoyed slightly chilled in a fine, tulip-shaped glass to capture both its aromatic lift and palate intensity. It is superb as an aperitif, pairing wonderfully with salted almonds, Iberico ham, or even oysters, but can also be enjoyed after a meal in quiet contemplation. The 1910 D’Oliveiras Sercial is more than a bottle of wine—it is a century-old testament to the artistry of Madeira winemaking, offering a once-in-a-lifetime tasting experience of unrivalled freshness and complexity.
