DFJ Vinhos Alicante Bouschet, Grand Arte

Tasting Notes

DFJ Vinhos Grand’Arte Alicante Bouschet is a full-bodied Portuguese red wine produced in the Lisboa region by prominent winemaker José Neiva Correia. It holds historical significance as the very first wine in Portugal to feature the Alicante Bouschet grape variety directly on its label.

100% Alicante Bouschet, a unique teinturier grape variety (one of the few grapes with dark red flesh inside, not just dark skin) resulting from a cross between Grenache and Petit Bouschet.

Powerful, deep-structured, and full-bodied, yet velvety and smooth. It undergoes a classic fermentation process with skin contact and is aged for 3 months in 225-litre French oak barrels, leading to a complex, elegant, and long finish.
