This wine is a tribute to José Manuel de Mello, for his excellence as an entrepreneur and for his passion for wine, but also a tribute to the Alicante Bouschet variety, that became a symbol of the region. In 2014, this grape variety developed a unique balance, allowing to produce the first and only 100% Alicante Bouschet wine ever produced at Monte da Ravasqueira. Just over three hectares gave rise to 6,686 bottles, in an exclusive and special production, thanks to precision viticulture. This wine aged for 28 months in French oak barrels and 12 months in bottle, which will allow a positive evolution over the next 20 years.
Dark and typical in Alicante Bouschet’s color. This wine is the maximum expression of what can be an Alicante Bouschet from the Alentejo. Powerful and mature in the mouth and nose does not lose the virtue of the grape variety to generate fresh wines and always with notes of green grass or pinewood that help the prolongation of his life. With strong tannins but without affecting the tasting and with the wood that was purposely present it becomes a great wine to keep in your cellar.
