A teinturier grape (red flesh as well as skin) producing intensely colored, powerful wines. While considered ordinary elsewhere, old-vine Alicante Bouschet in the Alentejo produces some of Portugal's most sought-after reds, with extraordinary concentration and complexity.
Top old-vine wines age 10-20 years. Standard wines are best within 5-8 years.
