Description
Experience the exquisite taste of the Série Ímpar Bairrada Sercialinho 2019, a rare and intriguing dry white wine that perfectly encapsulates the unique characteristics of its Bairrada origin. Crafted from the nearly extinct Sercialinho grape, this limited-production wine invites you to savor its vibrant profile, deeply rooted in a singular terroir that showcases a delicate balance of acidity and flavor intensity.
Meticulously hand-harvested from the Quinta de Pedralvites estate, located just 25 kilometers from the Atlantic coast, the grapes are cultivated in clay and limestone soils that promote their aromatic development and crisp freshness. This 2019 vintage boasts an impressive aromatic spectrum, presenting a nose enriched with:
- Vivid ripe yellow stone fruits
- Bright citrus zest
- Delicate herbal nuances
- Subtle oak warmth
On the palate, enjoy the lively succession of crystalline acidity that harmoniously underpins the flavors of:
- Fresh citrus
- Green melon
- Toastiness and gentle saline minerality
This well-structured wine concludes with a clean and persistent finish offering a delightful combination of zesty citrus peel and subtle mineral notes, all beautifully framed by an elegant acidity.
For the ultimate tasting experience, consider these refined serving suggestions:
- Serve chilled between 9-11°C in elegant tulip-shaped glasses to enhance the wine's aromatic expression.
- Pair it with a citrus and herb-infused ceviche, adorned with edible flowers, to elevate its refreshing profile.
- Complement a light goat cheese mousse topped with microgreens and honeycomb on artisanal crackers to balance the vibrant acidity.
- Create a sparkling spritzer by gently topping the wine with chilled soda water and a hint of grapefruit zest.
- Incorporate into mid-summer garden parties with chilled white gazpacho shots, emphasizing the wine's brightness.
- Use as a palate cleanser in a seafood tasting menu, served in chilled portions.
- For a dessert pairing, enjoy it with lightly poached white peaches and a splash of vanilla.
With only 4,523 bottles produced, the Série Ímpar Bairrada Sercialinho 2019 is not just a wine; it is a celebration of an extraordinary heritage waiting to be discovered. Ideal for those who appreciate refined, contemplative drinking experiences.

Storage advice
For optimal storage of the white wine maintain a temperature between 45°F and 50°F (7°C to 10°C) which helps preserve its crispness and delicate aromas without causing premature aging. Consistency in temperature is crucial; avoid fluctuations that can damage the cork and lead to oxidation.
Store the bottle away from direct light ideally in a dark place to prevent UV damage that can degrade the wine’s quality. Keep the bottle sealed tightly with its original cork ensuring the cork remains moist to avoid shrinking and air ingress.
Place the bottle horizontally to keep the cork in contact with the wine which maintains cork moisture and airtightness.
Maintain a humidity level around 70% to prevent cork drying and maintain proper sealing.
For an unopened bottle these conditions optimize preservation and aging. Once opened reseal the bottle tightly with a suitable wine stopper and store it in the refrigerator at around 45°F to slow oxidation and flavor loss. Consume opened white wine within 3–5 days for best quality.
Avoid long-term storage in a regular refrigerator for unopened bottles as repeated cooling cycles can dry the cork and cause premature aging. A dedicated wine cooler or cellar with stable temperature and humidity is preferred for both short- and long-term storage.
