The Madeira wine has been crafted from the vulcanic, sub-tropical Portuguese island named Madeira, located some 400 miles off the Northwest African coast. 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 wine company, maintaining a tradition that goes back to 1811.
The white varietal is used to produced this Blandy´s 5 years Sercial , grown in two very distinct locations on the island - down at sea-level on the North coast and at 800 metres above sea-level on the SOuth coast. Matured at the Blandy´s Wine Lodges in the center of Funchal, this sercial has the characteristic nuttiness of the variental, combined with a dried citrus fruit edge, making it the perfect foil to a plate of salted almonds, freshly cut spicy chorizo or piquillo peppers. It leaves the palate feeling crisp, clean and very refreshed.
