Bual

1960 Madeira White Blend

Blandy's Bual from the enchanting region of Madeira is a remarkable white blend that captivates the senses with its complex character. This vintage from nineteen sixty reveals a delightful medium body that is both inviting and fulfilling, while its balanced acidity adds a refreshing brightness to the overall experience. The fruit intensity is prominent, showcasing rich notes of dried fruits, figs, and subtle hints of caramel, which add layers of depth to the palate. Tannins are delicately woven into the fabric of this wine, providing structure without overpowering the intricate flavors. The wine is off-dry, skillfully marrying sweetness with acidity to create a luscious, mouthwatering symphony on the tongue. Each sip of Blandy's Bual transports you to the sun-kissed vineyards of Madeira, offering both nostalgia and a sense of timeless elegance.

Best known for its port dessert wine, Portugal is also home to some seriously worthwhile—though frequently overlooked—red and white table wines. This small country on the Iberian Peninsula has a wide range of climates, allowing it to produce everything from light and crisp whites in the Atlantic-cooled northwest to ripe and juicy reds in the hot and hilly Douro Valley. What often sets apart Portuguese wines is that they are often made from local grapes rather than more familiar international varieties. Difficult to pronounce (but a joy to drink!), common varietals include Touriga Nacional, Tinta Cão, and Loureiro.
