Adega Belem Black Alicante Bouschet 2024
Black Alicante 2021 expresses all the freshness and fruit of the grape variety. Perfectly ripe Castelão grapes, hand-picked from a vineyard belonging to the sacerdotal seminary of Caparide, on the Estoril coast, northwest of Lisbon. The freshness and long hours of sunshine give this medium-bodied, fresh, and elegant red wine aromas of raspberry and redcurrant, with earthy notes. Spontaneously fermented in the winery in Belem.
