Charleston Sercial Madeira Special Reserve Opener Wonderful length and supple tannins

Wonderful length and supple tannins make for easy enjoyment of this joyous red

Aged to perfection in char-3 oak barrels

naturally the excess of alcohol characterizes it and holds it together with rhythm and elegance

The primary flavors of Cardamaro are cardoon and blessed thistle

which interweave with hints of golden apple and pear

Charleston Sercial Madeira Special Reserve Opener Wonderful length and supple tanninsProducers Notes: The Rare Wine Co. Sercial is the driest of the Madeira grapes. While there is still a hint of sweetness, as well as richness given the extended ageing and glycerine in the wine, the main characteristic is acidity, wonderful, jolting, intense acidity. While most desserts are out of the question with the Charleston Sercial, it still makes for a fine after dinner wine or a wonderful foil to a variety of dinner dishes.
