Profile & Story
Pereira D'Oliveira has made Madeira in Funchal since the nineteenth century, aging its wines in cellars dating to 1619 and maintaining one of the island's largest libraries of old, cask-matured Madeiras — wines so intense, as the house's American importer puts it, that they show why Madeira was once so prized. This Boal (Bual) was matured in cask before bottling as a vintage-dated 2001.
Tasting Notes
Bual (Boal) Madeiras are traditionally the second-sweetest of the classic four styles, with a cinnamon-and-clove spiciness and a moderate, balanced sweetness.
Pairing Recommendation
Classic pairings for Bual include spiced roast poultry and rich meat dishes; its gentle spice also suits many curries.
