Description

A Rare Historical Treasure
The 1940 Justino’s Sercial Madeira is more than just a wine — it is a living piece of history. Produced during a time when Madeira wines were treasured for their resilience on long sea voyages, this bottling stands as a testament to the island’s winemaking legacy and the dedication of Justino’s, one of its most respected producers.

Sercial: Madeira’s Crisp and Elegant Style
Sercial is the driest style in Madeira’s range, celebrated for its bright acidity and subtle complexity. Grown at higher elevations on the island, these grapes retain remarkable freshness, even after decades of aging. This style is especially valued by those who appreciate a more austere and precise expression of Madeira.

Aroma and Taste Across Generations
After over 80 years of careful aging, the 1940 Sercial has developed a fascinating array of aromas and flavors. Expect notes of dried citrus peel, toasted hazelnuts, and delicate sea salt on the nose. The palate is energetic and bone dry, with layers of roasted nuts, orange zest, and a beautifully persistent, saline-driven finish that seems to go on forever.

Pairing and Serving Insights
Best served slightly chilled, this rare Madeira makes an exceptional aperitif or a surprising partner to delicate dishes such as shellfish or lightly salted nuts. It can also be enjoyed on its own, where its complexity can be fully appreciated without distraction. Decanting is typically unnecessary, as the wine is already fully developed and stable.

A Collector’s Dream and Conversation Piece
The 1940 Justino’s Sercial is an extraordinary addition to any fine wine collection. Its ability to age almost indefinitely makes it both a fascinating tasting experience and a compelling historical artifact. Whether opened to mark a momentous occasion or held as a treasured cellar centerpiece, it offers a unique glimpse into Madeira’s timeless artistry.
