Description

A wine of exceptional quality made only from the Sercial grape variety, aged in cask under the traditional canteiro system for a minimum of 20 years and bottled only when it begins to display the degree of depth and complex charachteristic of full maturity. Vintage Madeira aka Garrafeira or Frasqueira are the epitome or excellence and the glory of Madeira.

Tasting Notes

This 1977 Sercial displays a subtle nose of lemon oil, sea spray, smoke and toffee. The palate offers orange peel, marmelade, a touch of sweetness and ocean spray salinity, imbued with mouthwatering acidity, leading to a soft and well-defined finish.
