    2022 Herdade de Rocim Alicante Bouschet (Alentejo, PT) 5R

    This wine presents a rich, concentrated ruby hue. Its enticing scent combines black fruits with a harmonious minerality, accented by spicy undertones imparted by barrel aging. Structured tannins and well balanced acidity ensure its suitability for bottle aging.

    About The Varietal

    Alicante Bouschet

    This grape variety is the result of a cross between Petit Bouschet and Grenache, and it was initially cultivated by the viticulturist Henri Bouschet in 1866. Thanks to its productive and adaptable vines, Alicante Bouschet played a crucial role in the recovery of European wine industries that had been severely affected by the phylloxera epidemic.
