Cossart Gordon Sercial Vintage 1985 Madeira Wine
Cossart Gordon Sercial Vintage 1985 is a single-harvest Madeira that encapsulates the elegance and longevity of the Sercial grape. After its 1985 vintage, this wine spent 33 years aging in seasoned American oak casks under the traditional canteiro system—moving gradually from the lofts of the lodge (warm) to middle floors, and finally to cooler ground level before bottling in 2018. With an ABV of 20%, volatile acidity of 0.9 g/L, total acidity of 8.85 g/L (tartaric), and residual sugar around 54 g/L, it strikes a rare balance between bone-dry freshness and sophisticated richness.
Visually, Cossart Gordon Sercial Vintage 1985 displays a golden topaz colour with old-gold reflections. On the nose, expect aromas of exotic smoky wood, very old brandy, and warming spices. Its palate is dry and fresh with razor-sharp acidity and a long, lingering finish featuring walnuts, aged brandy, and balsamic notes. A wine of purity and character, it’s best enjoyed as a contemplative experience—alone or paired with light desserts, nuts, or fine cheeses
