RWC NV Historic Series Madeira 'Sercial'

A dry and complex Madeira from the Rare Wine Company, this digestive is an excellent pairing with soft and stinky cheese like La Tur and Toma. Roasted figs, dulce de Leche, sweet pecans… a lightly sweet and robust finisher to help calibrate your palate after a long meal.

From the Rare Wine Company:

“The goal of these remarkable wines was to introduce a new generation of American wine lovers not only to our shared history with Madeira, but to the wine’s magical quality: its astonishing bouquet, its glorious richness and balance, and its versatility as an aperitif, dessert wine and food wine. With this in mind, in 1998 we began working with Vinhos Barbeito’s owner, Ricardo Freitas, to create a series of Madeiras reflecting the style and complexity that enchanted our forefathers. The Rare Wine Co. had long been known as America’s pre-eminent source of Vintage Madeiras from the 18th, 19th and early 20th centuries; yet, Ricardo was perfectly positioned to help us. He, too, possessed a remarkable library of old Madeira, but he also had a unique understanding of the qualities we sought. And, for the project, he could contribute wines ranging in age from ten to sixty years, allowing us to produce superbly complex, aged Madeiras at affordable prices."
