Pale, bright topaz color with a golden tinge, fresh with dry fruit, wood, and citrus flavors with a fresh and nutty persistent finish.As warmer weather approaches, this is a wine that should immediately come to mind at apéritif time. This bone-dry style, with its inimitable nutty character, is so fresh, and so vibrant. It has some tannins, enlivening acidity giving a great lift at the end. Bring on the freshly salted, roasted almonds.
Blandy’s 10-year-old Sercial is fined and does not require decanting. It is excellent as an aperitif but is also exceedingly good with starters, fish dishes, and Indian cuisine.
It has been bottled when ready for drinking and will keep for several months after opening.
