Herdade do Rocim Alicante Bouschet 2016
Other Grape | Portugal
This wine has a deep opaque ruby color with aromas of black fruit. The barrel aging gives spicy notes and well-integrated tannins while maintaining minerality and acidity.
Located in the Lower Alentejo region in the southern half of Portugal, between Vidigueira and Cuba, lies the estate of Herdade do Rocim on 100 hectares, 60 of which are under vine. Alentejo is sparsely populated and, in contrast to the rest of Portugal, has many large estates. The climate is continental, with hot summers and cold winters. Having fairly reliable weather combined with the large plots of available land equates to quality at an affordable price.
