The 1920 Bual is one of the family's most emblematic wines. To think that this wine was produced in the face of so much adversity is a true tribute to the men and women who worked on the island at that time. Over the years, different bottlings from the 1920s were launched on the markets and all of them were unique and exclusive in their own right – each of the bottlings evolved naturally, due to the heat, humidity, size of the barrel and its location within our cellar, in the center of Funchal. A wine that has been aged for 100 years in American oak casks and since March 1, 2017 in glass demijohns. Only 1,199 individually numbered bottles of this century-old wine were released. Light and shiny dark mahogany color with a golden nuance and greenish reflections. The nose is complex and very characteristic, it is fine, intense, revealing a bouquet of dried fruit, exotic spices, vanilla, smoked notes mixed with cedar oil and balms. On the palate it is very concentrated and powerful, slightly sweet, very balanced and smooth, its leaves have a very long aftertaste with notes of tobacco, exotic woods, cedar oil and wax.
