Sercial
Best known in Madeira
The driest of the classic Madeira grapes. Very high acidity, with citrus, almond and a tangy, nutty finish. Lovely chilled as an aperitif or with soup, and like all good Madeira it lasts for a long time once opened.

The grapes
Arinto
Best known in Bucelas, Vinho Verde, Alentejo
Portugal's great high-acid white grape. Zesty lemon, green apple and a stony freshness that holds up even in hot climates. Lovely young, and the best examples gain honeyed complexity with age.
Meet the producer
Falatorio
, Portugal
A Portuguese producer with a 4.5-hectare vineyard, about 35 km from the sea and 40 minutes from Lisbon. The slope faces south south-west, so the vines get plenty of sun. Love Wine stocks their Sercial, a fresh, aromatic white.
More from Falatorio →The story behind it
The 4.5 ha vineyard is part of a gentle slope typical of the region, about 35 km from the sea and 40 minutes from the city of Lisbon. The vineyard is of south south-west orientation and enjoys optimum exposure to the sun what is central to development of the vines and to the later maturation of the grapes.
