Sercial 1960

Product Description: Cossart Gordon’s Vntage Sercial 1960 is a single harvest Madeira. This wine was aged in 650 lts seasoned American oak casks in the traditional ‘Canteiro’ system, whereby the casks were gradually transferred from the top floors of the lodge, where it is naturally warmer, to the middle floors and eventually to the ground floor where it is cooler. The wine was regularly racked and when it reached the desired stage of maturity it was bottled. The present bottling of the reminiscent 880lt of this excellent wine, which was kept on our lodges at Mercês, was bottled in April 2006 and produced 1169 bottles.
