Profile & Story
Pereira D'Oliveira, founded in 1820 and still family-owned, ages its wines in cask under the house belief that Madeira develops best in wood, bottling only as needed. Bual (Boal) is one of the estate's classic medium-rich varietal bottlings, sitting between the drier Verdelho and the sweeter Malvasia in the traditional Madeira style hierarchy.
Tasting Notes
Medium-rich in style, D'Oliveira's Bual Madeiras typically show notes of cinnamon, clove and dried fruit, with a creamy, concentrated palate balanced by Madeira's characteristic acidity and a warm, spiced finish.
Pairing Recommendation
Bual's cinnamon-clove spice and moderate sweetness pair well with spiced dishes such as curries, and with richer roasted poultry like goose.
