Sercial is the driest style of Madeira. It is bright and crisp with citrus, herbal and mineral notes. This 1989 has complex characteristics of raisins, apple, marmalade, sage, brioche, and pecans. Harmonious and balanced with a mild spice, a saline note and nice acidity to enhance the fruit.
Serve chilled as an aperitif or with fish and vegetable dishes.

***17/20- Jancis Robinson***
Bottled 2009. 5,800 litres produced in the high, Jardim da Serra part of Estreito de Câmara de Lobos . Mid-depth orange tawny with a greenish rim. Lots of development on the nose – full and rich. Then amazingly dry on the finish.
