Bold, brooding and built to impress — Alicante Bouschet is one of the wine world's great originals. A rare teinturier grape with red flesh as well as red skin, it produces wines of extraordinary depth of colour, richly layered with dark fruit, spice and earthy complexity.

Originally developed in 19th-century France, Alicante Bouschet found its spiritual home in Portugal's sun-drenched Alentejo, where it thrives in the heat to produce powerful, structured reds with a velvety texture and remarkable ageing potential. You'll also find it across southern France, Spain and beyond, each region lending its own character to this intensely expressive variety.

Expect flavours of blackberry, dark plum, black cherry and violet, often with hints of chocolate, tobacco and warm spice. Whether you're looking for a bold dinner companion or a cellar-worthy bottle, our Alicante Bouschet selection delivers.
