Barroca da Malhada Alicante Bouschet Red

Barroca da Malhada Alicante Bouschet red wine is born from manual colheita and artisanal winemaking, with spontaneous fermentation and minimal cellar intervention. It ages in stainless steel tanks and second-use Portuguese oak barrels. With an almost opaque ruby ​​color, it reveals an intense and profound aroma, where ripe black fruit intertwines with balsamic notes and a subtle smoky touch. On the palate, it is structured, powerful, and expressive, with excellent acidity and a long, distinctly gastronomic finish.

Barroca da Malhada is a producer of artisanal wines from the Beira Interior region, originating from a historic estate dating back to the Middle Ages and which belonged to the Viscounts of Tinalhas. With approximately five hectares of vineyards cultivated organically and using biodynamic practices, they work with schist-sandy soils of granitic origin, in one of the most mountainous territories of Portugal. The wines reflect a low-intervention approach, prioritizing authenticity, freshness, and expression of the place.
