The family’s vintage Madeira collection is unrivalled and their vintage room has been described as a “cathedral of wine”, storing wines dating back to the 18th century.

Tasting NotesBright amber-gold colour with greenish reflections. The nose is complex, revealing notes of dried citrus peel, toasted almonds, and subtle smoky undertones. Crisp acidity balances flavours of roasted nuts, orange zest, and a hint of sea salt. The finish is long, dry, and elegant, with lingering notes of spice and wood. A beautifully structured Sercial with remarkable freshness despite its age.

Serving SuggestionsServe chilled at 12–14°C (54–57°F) in a tulip glass to enhance its aromas. Pairs excellently with salted almonds, hard cheeses like Manchego or Parmesan, and smoked fish. Also complements citrus-based desserts and savoury dishes like oysters or sushi. Its bright acidity makes it a versatile food wine.
