Bual :: Winegeeks (191 words)
	Of the four styles of Madeira, Bual is on the sweeter end of the spectrum.
	The high acidity in the Bual grape combined with Maderization, a process in which the wine is fortified and then slowly cooked in barrel over a period of many years, allows the wine to acheive incredible longevity.
	Bual Madeiras from the 1800s are still in good condition and some examples from the 17th century though rare are not unheard of.
