Madeira Wine Blandy’s 5 Years Sercial 75cl<\/h5>\n
<\/div>\n
GRAPE VARIETIES:\u00a0Sercial<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
VINEYARDS:\u00a0Various quality vineyards at P. Moniz,\u00a0<\/span>Seixal and C\u00e2mara de Lobos at altitudes of up\u00a0<\/span>to 500m.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
VINIFICATION:\u00a0Blandy’s 5 year old dry Sercial underwent\u00a0<\/span>fermentation off the skins with natural yeast at\u00a0<\/span>temperatures between 18\u00b0C – 21\u00b0C in\u00a0<\/span>temperature controlled stainless steel tanks.\u00a0<\/span>After approximately 5-6 days, fortification with\u00a0<\/span>grape brandy takes place, arresting\u00a0<\/span>fermentation at the desired degree of\u00a0<\/span>sweetness.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
MATURATION<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Blandy’s 5 year old Sercial was aged in\u00a0American oak casks in the traditional ‘Canteiro’\u00a0<\/span>system. This comprises of the gentle heating of\u00a0<\/span>the wine in the lofts of the lodges in Funchal.\u00a0<\/span>Over the years the wine is transferred from the\u00a0<\/span>top floors to the middle floors and eventually to\u00a0<\/span>the ground floor where it is cooler. After this\u00a0<\/span>gradual ‘estufagem’ the wine underwent racking\u00a0<\/span>and fining before the blend was assembled and\u00a0<\/span>bottled.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

SERVING &CELLARAGE<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Blandy’s 5 year old Sercial is fined and does\u00a0not require decanting. It is excellent as an\u00a0<\/span>aperitif but is also exceedingly good with\u00a0<\/span>starters, fish dishes and Indian cuisine. It has\u00a0<\/span>been bottled when ready for drinking and will\u00a0<\/span>keep for several months after opening.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

PRESS COMMENTS<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
“Served slightly chilled, this is the perfect\u00a0example of how this style of Madeira fits into\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>place at even the most modern of dinner\u00a0<\/span>parties. Its innate nuttiness, combined with a\u00a0<\/span>lovely dried citrus fruit edge, makes it the\u00a0<\/span>perfect foil to a plate of salted almonds, freshly\u00a0<\/span>cut spicy chorizo or picquillo peppers. It leaves\u00a0<\/span>the palate feeling crisp, clean and very\u00a0<\/span>refreshed”.<\/span><\/div>\n
