Pereira D'Oliveira,
Drink now,
Impressively dark of hue, this venerable Boal overwhelms with a nose of dark chocolate, tar and old Cognac. Figs and bonfires complete the profile, which is intense and uncompromising. Youthful in apparent dotage, this is an exceptionally good illustration of the magical soothing powers of fine old Madeira.

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.
