A very exciting new addition to our Portuguese range, Cas'Amaro is a small 4.5ha estate on the Atlantic coast north of Lisbon. Planting this special site in 2016, they opted for 8 local varieties suited to the maritime climate and unique former sea-floor limestone soil. Wanting to maintain the natural harmony they have farmed according to organic principles from the beginning. The wines are being made by renowned oenologist Jorge Pascoa.
The Sercial Reserva is made with the best fruit from their 1ha of this variety, possibly best known in Madeira. Fermented in stainless steel, it then rests for six months in used French oak barrels.
The resulting wine is tangy and intense, with citrus peel, cedar and seasalt aromas. It has a superb balance between waxy texture and Sercial's typically racy acidity. A wine with very unique character but extremely drinkable, and incredible with any fish or seafood. Only 999 bottles made, and the staff here are definitely going to be snapping some up!
