Alicante Bouschet

Alicante Bouschet Wine Details
Price: $25.00 per bottle

Description: Known in France as a teinturier literally, a dyer, when crushed this hybrid of Petite Bouschet and Grenache is one of the few grapes to produce deep red juice. Alicante's high yields and thick, rot-resistant skin made it a favorite for shipping to our home-winemaking friends back east during prohibition. This limited production wine is a favorite at Cooper for it's full body, aggressive tannins, and smooth finish.
