Barbeito 10 Year Old Sercial Madeira

Madeira, Portugal

Barbeito's benchmark dry Sercial — Madeira's driest style from the island's highest altitude volcanic vineyards. Intense oxidative complexity: hazelnuts, dried citrus, caramelized almonds, tangerine peel, and the piercing volcanic acidity that makes Sercial one of the world's most unique and food-compatible wines.

Pairing intelligence

• aperitif: Dry Madeira Sercial has long been served as an aperitif throughout the Lusophone world; the wine's hazelnut and citrus complexity bridges the soup's smoky chorizo
• starter: Dry Madeira has historically been the classic partner for rich consommés; the wine's nutty oxidative character bridges the concentrated stock's depth
