Barbeito Boal 40 Year Old 75cl Vinho do Embaixador

75cl

A superbly rich 40 year old Boal that has been named in honour of Diplomat Fernao Favila Vieira.

Fernão Favila Vieira was born in 1930 in Funchal and graduated from the School of Law at the University of Lisbon. As a diplomat, he held positions in various parts of the world. In the scope of the performance of his duties, he was honored with the title of commander of the Order of Infante Dom Henrique. Throughout his life, he devoted himself to literary, journalistic and political activities. For this homage Ricardo Diogo chose, amongst his favorites, the best Boal wines aged in our warehouses over the last 40 years, by the traditional Canteiro method to which he added much older ones. In July 2018, 739 bottles were filled, all individually numbered.
