These grapes came specifically from the area of Calheta, the warmest and sunniest area on the island. This was an excellent vintage where the Bual grapes were hand-harvested, trodden in wooden lagares and then aged for more than 40 years in the cask.

Glossary

Bual

Several Portuguese white varieties that were widely grown in centuries past were called Bual. Today, the term has come to refer to a medium-rich type of Madeira produced from these grapes. It is produced on Madeira's warmer south side, so it ripens to a higher sugar level than Sercial or Verdelho. Bual is generally dark and raisiny, and keeps its bright acidity over many years of ageing.
