Sercial
Filter
Sercial is a white grape variety used to create medium-bodied sweet wines, such as Bual & Terrantez and Malvasia. Sercial is mainly grown in the island of Madeira, Portugal and is found in small quantities. After phylloxera ravished the vineyards in Madeira, the grape started to grow more widespread on Portugal’s mainland, where it is called Esgana or Esgana Cao. Sercial ripens late in the year, which contributes to the grape variety’s high acid level. The name Sercial is thought to be related with the Madeira style rather than the grape variety itself, and is a very acidic and light type of Madeira wine that takes the longest to mature. Sercial grapes are harvested late in the year and at least 20 years of aging is required for the vintage Sercial Madeiras wine. The long aging process makes sure that the acidity of the wine is toned down and softened. When the vintage wine is mature, the color has a yellowish tawny tone and is similar to the smell of vintage Riesling wines. Sercial is the driest type of Madeira, and can contain up to 1.5 percent residual sugar. Sercial is also growing in popularity because of its perfume flavors.

Sourced from a vineyard at 505 metres above sea level in San Vicente de la Sonsierra, the wine takes its name from the site it is located on. The soils are primarily composed of depleted limestone in the subsoil and pebbles on the topsoil. These types of soils offer long-ageing capacity, freshness, volume and structured wines.
Fresh, structured and complex, this wine is very aromatic, with intense aromas of wild black fruits, accompanied by deep balsamic aromas and licorice. A silky texture and mineral notes, it is round, powerful and polished on the palate with flavors of black fruits, prunes, balsamic and spice. A long and persistent finish.

Meat and game, either grilled, baked or stewed, pastes, creams and soups, all kind of meat recipes, roast lamb.
Review:
"Dark plums, wild berries, dried herbs and warm earth with sweet spices and discreet vanilla creaminess interwoven to the nose. A medium-to full-bodied tempranillo with chalky, calculated tannins and vivid acidity. Lively, with a bright core of fruit on the center-palate and a flavorful, spicy finish. Naturally concentrated, but extremely drinkable, too. Long and bright. Drink or hold."

In the mouth it is persistent, full of juicy yet firm tannins and balanced acidity. It is frank and expressive, modern and of great personality.
