Fiuza
Premium Red Alicante Bouschet
Wine Type: Red Wine
Country: Portugal
Region: Tejo
Grapes: Alicante Bouschet
Winery Notes: Deep, intense, purple red color. Impressively seductive blackberry and cassis fruits jam. Spicy palate, rich with intense chocolate and mint flavor and toasty oak tannins.
Vinification: Controlled temperature fermentation in open tanks at 25ºC, with hand plunging, followed by 8 months aging in French oak barrels
Food Pairing: Recommended with roasted meats, game and rich pasta sauces or barbecued steaks and ripe cheeses, or grilled vegetables.
Wine Enthusiast: “This young wine, dense with dark tannins and powerful black fruits, is set for the long haul. With its youthful mix between dryness and fruit, sustained by wood aging, the wine will develop well.”
