Rare and remarkable, Alicante Bouschet is one of the few red grapes in the world where both the skin and flesh are deeply pigmented, producing wines of extraordinary inky colour and concentration. In Australia it remains a genuine curiosity, delivering generous dark fruit, firm tannins, and a long spiced finish with notes of blackberry, plum, dark chocolate, and a hint of smoke.
Food Pairing
Serve with slow-braised lamb shoulder, beef short ribs, or wood-fired duck. Its depth and structure make it an ideal match for rich, bold dishes. Try it alongside a charcuterie board with aged hard cheese, or a dark chocolate dessert for a striking finish.
