Profile & Story

Pereira D'Oliveira has made Madeira in Funchal since the nineteenth century, ageing 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 by earlier generations.

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.
