BULAS PORT: A SUSTAINABLE LEGACY IN THE HEART OF DOURO VALLEY
BULAS FAMILY HERITAGE
Bulas Port, at its core, is a tale of the Bulas family, whose roots in the Douro Valley date back to the 13th century. Historical records from 1256 mention the production of wines at the confluence of the Ceira river in Gouvinhas, Sabrosa. Over the centuries, the Bulas family has dedicated themselves to the cultivation of grapes and the production of exceptional wines, preserving the culture and heritage of this extraordinary and unique wine region.
The current generation leading the company has taken a decisive step by expanding and consolidating the family business on an international scale. The family has always managed every process, from grape cultivation to production and bottling. Today, they offer an extensive selection of Port wines, each bearing a testament to the family's commitment to quality, tradition, and the unique terroir of the Douro Valley.
THE BULAS VINEYARDS
Currently, the Bulas family owns vineyards in the Upper Corgo region of the Douro Valley, an area renowned for producing wines of exceptional quality. The diversity of these vineyard areas allows for the plantation of noble grape varieties such as Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca, Tinta Barroca, and Tinto Cão, among others.
PORT WINE SPECIALTIES
Bulas has a rich portfolio of Port wines, a tradition that has been fine-tuned over centuries. Their portfolio boasts of Vintage, Tawny, Ruby, and Late Bottled Vintage (LBV) Ports, each bearing a testament to the family's commitment to quality, tradition, and the unique terroir of the Douro Valley.
TRADITION MEETS MODERNITY
The winemaking process at Bulas beautifully blends the traditional practices of the region with modern viticulture advancements. The family still maintains manual harvesting and foot treading in stone lagares, while also implementing controlled temperature fermentation. After the addition of grape spirit, the wine is fortified and bottled, primarily in standard 750ml bottles, with occasional special editions in unique sizes.
CULINARY PARTNERSHIPS
Bulas Port wines offer versatility, providing a delightful pairing experience for a myriad of dishes. The Tawny Port, with its rich tones of nuts and dried fruits, pairs excellently with creamy desserts, mature cheeses, and pâtés. The Ruby Port, vibrant and fruit-forward, is a perfect companion for cheese boards or fruit desserts. The Vintage Port, known for its power and complexity, wonderfully complements robust cheeses and chocolate desserts.
THE BULAS LEADERSHIP
The Bulas family's ongoing commitment to their craft is evident in their dedication to preserving quality and distinction in their products. Every step of the process, from the vine to the bottle, is meticulously overseen, ensuring that each bottle of Port carries the family's legacy and the indomitable spirit of the Douro Valley.
In conclusion, Bulas Port embodies a perfect blend of tradition, quality, sustainability, and innovation. Each Port wine is not just a beverage, but a celebration of the rich viticultural heritage of the Douro Valley. The Bulas family's passion and dedication shine through each sip, making every bottle a testament to their legacy.
