Alicante Bouschet 2015

Produced in the Alentejo region of Portugal, Esporão Alicante Bouschet benefits from the Mediterranean climate and diverse terroir characteristic of this renowned wine-producing area.

This wine is made primarily from the Alicante Bouschet grape variety, a teinturier grape known for its deep color and robust character.

The grapes are hand-harvested and undergo controlled fermentation to preserve the varietal character and structure. The wine is aged in oak barrels to enhance complexity and smoothness before bottling.
