Sercial

1910 Madeira Red Blend

Blandy's Sercial is a remarkable red blend from the esteemed Madeira region, showcasing its rich heritage and time-honored winemaking techniques. This vintage, dating back to 1910, displays an enchanting color that draws you in with its deep ruby hues. On the palate, the wine is exceptionally light-bodied, boasting a crisp and refreshing acidity that invigorates each sip. The fruit intensity is pronounced, revealing layers of dark cherry and ripe plum, beautifully balanced by subtle notes of spice and earthy undertones. Tannins are notably firm yet refined, providing structure without overpowering the overall exquisiteness of the experience. As a dry wine, Blandy's Sercial illustrates the historic elegance of Madeira, celebrating a legacy that continues to impress even after more than a century.

Best known for its port dessert wine, Portugal is also home to some seriously worthwhile—though frequently overlooked—red and white table wines. This small country on the Iberian Peninsula has a wide range of climates, allowing it to produce everything from light and crisp whites in the Atlantic-cooled northwest to ripe and juicy reds in the hot and hilly Douro Valley. What often sets apart Portuguese wines is that they are often made from local grapes rather than more familiar international varieties. Difficult to pronounce (but a joy to drink!), common varietals include Touriga Nacional, Tinta Cão, and Loureiro.
