What The Fellas Say

Like spending an evening with an old friend after years apart…easy, fun and full of stories. This classic Alicante Bouschet speaks of the Alentejo soil warming in the late summer sun, ripening berries and plums, and has legs wrapped in dark chocolate.

What The Sommelier Says

Intense notes of black fruit and spices, with obvious floral nuances. Fresh and dried plums, excellent acidity and structure. Rich, silky tannins. Pleasant and very long finish with notes of chocolate and vanilla.

Pairs well with…

…pepperoni pizza or veal milanese or sunday roast or a dark chocolate cake drizzled in rasberry coulis.

About The Winemakers

Terras de Alter, a winery in Alto Alentejo, was founded in 2004 through a partnership between two traditional agricultural companies and winemaker Peter Bright. In 2008, the company built its own state-of-the-art winery, establishing itself as a key producer of quality wines in the Alentejo region. Acquired in 2021 by Ímpar, S.A., with new foreign investors, the winery gained financial autonomy and growth potential, focusing on producing superior wines. The company’s success is driven by nearly 20 years of Bright’s expertise and strong relationships with local grape growers, with plans to acquire its own vineyards and further enhance its team and operations.
