Found Alicante Bouschet - Case of 6
Sorry, this item is no longer available
A deeply coloured bold red with flavours of black fruits. Pairs well with grilled meats and spicy vegetable dishes.
Alicante Bouschet is one of a few grape varieties to have red pulp as well as skin; historically it was used a blending grape to deepen the colour of wines. It thrives in the hot dry climate of the Alentejo, east of Lisbon, where it makes delicious, deeply coloured, full-bodied wines. This example is made exclusively for MandS by João-Maria Portugal Ramos and Donzilia Copeto. They ferment a small portion of the grapes in old granite lagares for added complexity. João-Maria recommends paring it with local Perna de Borrego, lamb shanks. Best enjoyed within 3 years of purchase.

Must buy
Yes, I recommend this
Very drinkable, nice on the palette and goes very well with lamp chops. Can also have it on it's own, even if you are not a win "drunker" Will strongly recommend you try it.
