This Alicante Bouschet is, without a doubt, one of the best red wines I have ever tasted. From the moment the deep, inky color fills the glass, you know you’re in for something special. The nose bursts with ripe blackberries, dark cherries, and a hint of smoky spice, creating an intoxicating aroma.
On the palate, it is lush and full-bodied, with rich flavors of black fruit, and subtle earthy undertones. The balance between its velvety tannins and vibrant acidity is masterful, leading to a long, smooth finish with a touch of spice and oak.
This wine is a true powerhouse—bold, complex, and utterly captivating. If you love deep, intense reds, Alicante Bouschet is an absolute must-try.

I absolutely loved this wine! It’s rich, smooth, and full of flavor. The deep color is beautiful, and every sip is delight with its dark fruit and just the right touch of spice. It feels elegant but also easy to enjoy, wether with dinner or just relaxing at the end of the day. Definitely one of the best red wines I’ve had from Alentejo. I’ll buying it again for sure 🙂
