"Alicante Boushet is a "Tintureira" variety, which means that the pulp has colour rather than just the skin, like most red grapes.
It is considered one of the main grape varieties of the Alentejo, although it is not originally from the region.
The Alicante Boushet grape variety has been ignored, banned, abandoned or prohibited by almost every wine region in the world.
And it was in the Alentejo that it found the ideal conditions, producing impressive wines with enormous concentration and extracts of beautiful black fruit and balsamic notes."
