Boal offers the perfect balance of freshness, sweetness and fruit cake juiciness. This excellent 10-year-old blend sports all that you would expect from Barbeito, precision, a perfect inter-play of sweetness and acidity, a never-ending finish, and the versatility to excite countless pre-dinner nibbles, challenging cheeses, and many a solid pudding! Definitely a pudding wine rather than a dessert wine.

The famous Ribeiro Real vineyards are located in the south of the Island, elevated at 200 metres where there are co-plantations of the noble varieties with some venerable Tinta Negre Mole. This example has all the depth and complexity that one associates with both the house and Boal of this age; notes of iodine, tobacco and even peat recall Islay malt; the 81 grams of sugar is worn lightly and the finish is spicy and warm, yet clean and refreshing as all great Madeira should be.

A noble grape variety grown in Madeira and producing a style of Madeira richer than Sercial and Verdelho but not as sweet as Malmsey
It has many subvarieties, although Bual Cachudo is the highest quality one, and is the most commonly planted. It is a good yielding grape and performs best on the lower slopes on the south side of the island around Camara de Lobos and Funchal.
