Description and Reviews:
Step into the world of fine aged Madeira with this 1990 Blandy’s Sercial – a dry, complex, and beautifully matured wine that showcases over 30 years of careful ageing in seasoned oak casks. Perfect for collectors and lovers of savoury wines, this is a timeless Madeira for the Connoisseur. The classic full bottle format offers the ideal balance between drinkability and cellar potential. An exceptional food wine and conversation starter.

Tasting Notes:
Bright amber in colour, with aromas of candied citrus, roasted hazelnuts and spice. The palate is dry, structured and beautifully balanced, offering flavours of citrus peel, saline minerals and a touch of old wood.

Winemaking:
Carefully crafted by Blandy’s, a family-run Madeira house since 1811, this wine has been aged in seasoned American oak casks using the traditional Canteiro method. The slow oxidative ageing process lends it remarkable concentration and character over time.

Serving Suggestions:
It is recommended to pull the cork at least 2 day before enjoying this wine. Decanting will help remove any deposit that may have occurred in bottle over time. Enjoy lightly chilled as an aperitif or pair with smoked almonds, hard cheeses, or dishes featuring umami and acidity. It’s also an exceptional match for consommé or sushi. Once opened, a Madeira wine should keep for many months without deteriorating.

Cellarage
This wine should be stored upright in a dark room with constant temperature, ideally no higher than 16ºC.

Blandy's Madeira has been synonymous with quality Madeira wine for over 200 years. The Blandy's are unique in being the only family of all the original founders of the Madeira wine trade to still own and manage their own original wine company. The family has played a leading role in the development of Madeira wine throughout its long history and members of the family continue to live on Madeira, maintaining a tradition that goes back to 1811.
