Collection: Grape Varieties - White Grapes - Sercial
Sercial, a white grape variety most notably associated with the production of Madeira, the fortified wine from the eponymous island, is celebrated for its vibrant acidity and exceptional aging potential. This variety produces the driest style of Madeira, characterized by its sharp, invigorating acidity, nuanced with flavours of citrus, nuts, and a distinctive spicy note, making it a superb aperitif or a companion to food. Beyond Madeira, Sercial shows versatility in still wine production, where it can express a lean, mineral-driven profile.
