Quinta do Souto Alicante Bouschet 2018 Red Wine

Quinta da Fonte Souto Alicante Bouschet embodies all the virtues of the estate's unique terroir: the freshness and balance of the altitude and the complexity and structure of the mature, low-production vineyards. Known as one of the main red wine grape varieties, finds a terroir on the slopes of the Serra de São Mamede that allows it to express the extraordinary complexity and elegance that characterise Fonte Souto wines.

Quinta do Souto Alicante Bouschet Red Wine presents wide-ranging aromatic expression: forest floor, scrub, pine needles and discreet notes of fennel, then giving way to black fruits (blackberry, blueberry), black plum and hints of liquorice. On the palate some chocolate, mushroom/truffle and hints of smoke, showing the good integration of the barrel. Monumental in the mouth, with several layers providing fascinating complexity. Refined tannins combine with good acidity (discreet but present), enhancing the formidable structure. An eminently gastronomic wine with great potential for long storage.
