Blandy’s Sercial 10 anos

Blandy’s Sercial 10 years ferment with natural yeasts at a temperature of 18 to 21ºC in stainless steel vats with controlled temperature. Approximately after 5 days the fortification is carried out with wine alcohol (96%), in order to conserve the desired natural sugar content. It is aged for 10 years in American oak casks according to the traditional ‘Canteiro’ process. This includes a delicate heating of the wine in the attic of the warehouses in Funchal. Over the years, the wine is transferred from the upper floors to the intermediate floors, and eventually to the floor level where it is cooler. After this ‘gradual stuffing’, the wine is filtered and clarified before being bottled. Pale, bright topaz color, with golden nuances. Fresh, with flavors of dried fruit, wood and citrus and a fresh and persistent finish, with dried fruits. Contains sulfites.
