Description
Nowadays, this is one of the most emblematic grape varieties of Alentejo and its sarroundings. More than a century ago in this region, Alicante Bouschet found here the ideal climate conditions for the complete expression of its enological character. For this reason, today more than a Portuguese variety by adoption, it is mainly an Alentejo variety.
The profile we are looking for in this wine is difficult, so only 3 harvests have been produced to date: 2005, 2008 and 2014. From vineyards with controlled production, never more than 27 hectares, the grapes are fermented in a mill with part of the stems and later matured in new French oak barrels.
Intense notes of Chinese ink, black fruits, mint and dark chocolate. Massive, fresh, completely fills the entire palate with elegance and finesse.
Temperature – 15ºC
Gastronomy – Dense and stewed hunting dishes. Chanfana, giblets and black pork roasts.
