Alicante Bouschet is a teinturier grape variety known for its deep red color and full-bodied characteristics. It is one of the few grape varieties with red flesh as well as red skin, resulting in intense pigmentation in its wines. Alicante Bouschet wines are often rich and bold, with flavors of dark fruits, spices, and sometimes a hint of earthiness. This grape is commonly used in blends to add color and structure, particularly in regions like Portugal and Spain.
