Serra Mission, Madeira

Serra Mission Maderia wine is a fantastic and highly versatile wine to add depth and flavor to a variety of dishes. Serra Mission is one of the last wineries to specialize in the production of dessert wines.. Fortified wines are made by the addition of brandy to partially fermented grape must. This "arrests" the fermentation and creates a sweet wine with high sugar content. Serra Mission uses grapes that are renowned for the creation of ¬fine dessert wines. These varieties are well suited to warm climates and grown exclusively in California's San Joaquin Valley.. These wines serve multiple purposes - from a dessert beverage to an ideal ingredient for specialized recipes.. Our Maderia is comprised of Mission and Palomino varietals and is bottled at 17.5% alcohol by volume.. This Madeira shows nutty, oxidized characters of Flor yeast, making it similar to Sercial from the Island of Madeira.
