Alicante Bouschet

Origin: France, created in 1855 by Henri Bouschet (crossing of Petit Bouschet × Grenache).
Growing regions: Spain, France
Also known as: Garnacha Tintorera

The Alicante Bouschet, famous for its tinted pulp, produces intense and concentrated wines. Its aromatic profile is dominated by ripe black fruits (black plum, black cherry, blackcurrant) and spicy notes (black pepper). Touches of fresh herbs and violet add complexity, while the terroir imparts a subtle minerality.
