Named after one of the eastern seaports that was once amongst the world’s center of Madeira appreciation, the Charleston evokes a style of Madeira that was popular in that city 150 to 200 years ago. Celebrating the refined, delicate Madeiras prized by our forefathers, the Charleston Sercial is the driest Madeira within the Rare Wine Co. Historic Series. Like all classic Sercials, this bottling is crisp and racy, its very slight sweetness balanced by an exhilarating, mouthwatering tang of acidity. Sercial excels as an aperitif with nuts or olives, with soups, and with a host of mature, hard cheeses.

Rare Wine Co. Historic Series

The Rare Wine Co. is recognized as one of America’s premier wine merchants, in the dual roles of national importer and retailer. They represent more than 30 iconic producers in the U.S. and vigorously champion several dozen others whose wines and philosophy they deeply admire with an unparalleled library of wines dating back decades. In 1998, The Rare Wine Co. began a project with Ricardo Freitas of Vinhos Barbeito to create a series of moderately priced Madeiras with the aromatic fingerprint and classic flavors of far more expensive vintage wines. It took years of work, but in 2003, they began releasing the wines which are named in honor of American cities with strong ties to Madeira, which was at one point widely regarded as the most prestigious wines in the U.S. during the 18th and 19th centuries. Each wine in the series, New York Malmsey, Boston Boal, and Charleston Sercial represents a style of Madeira popular in the cities they're named after.
