Vinalopo Alicante Bouschet

A compelling single-varietal Alicante Bouschet from Bodega Las Virtudes in the Vinalopó area of D.O. Alicante, showing intense vivid red-cherry colour and expressive aromas of black fruit and balsamic nuance with warm, toasted and spicy oak influence from 12 months’ barrel ageing. On the palate it offers a medium-to-full body with ripe, well-structured tannins, balanced acidity and a persistent, savoury finish that reflects the Mediterranean limestone terroir. This wine captures the character of Alicante’s interior vineyards with both fruit intensity and seasoned depth. Suggested pairings include grilled red meats, hearty stews and mature cheeses — dishes that stand up to its ripe fruit and structured profile.
