Bual (or Boal) is a grape variety used in Madeira production. It is the second sweetest of the four noble Madeira grapes: Sercial, Verdelho, Bual and Malmsey.
It makes medium-rich fortified wines.

Vintage dated madeiras are fantastic but can be pricey. A nice 15 year old Bual is a good intro to the world of madeira and shouldn't be to expensive.
