Unusually the grapes for this wine come from Calheta on the south coast (presumably at a fairly high altitude); lovely deep amber colour, verging on nut brown; lifted on the nose, quite powerful and intense with roast almond and a touch of toffee and butterscotch; surprisingly full in flavour for a Sercial on the palate (55 g/l residual sugar) with fresh spiced, toffeed / caramelised flavours, the acidity cutting in mid-palate (11 g/l residual sugar) leaving a typically astringent yet full greengage and apple finish.
