MEHAVI

Alicante Bouschet is a rare teinturier red grape with its skins and flesh both red, giving it extraordinary depth of color. Originating in France, this unique variety has spread across various warm regions including Portugal’s Alentejo, where it has become highly respected for producing powerful varietal wines as well as blends. Expect deep fruit flavors like blackberry, black plum, and blueberry, along with notes of pepper, cocoa, and earth. This grape often benefits from oak aging but needs to be balanced to avoid heaviness. Enjoy its robustness with grilled meats, stews, sausages, barbecue, roasted vegetables, and hard cheeses.
