Grape Varieties

• Alicante Bouschet

  Beautiful with character.

  The Alicante Bouschet grape imparts luscious color, making it an easy blending partner. It creates earth and spice scents, with traces of leather and tobacco. You may also detect flavors of blackberries and cherries.

• Touriga Nacional

  Noble with temperament.

  Touriga Nacional is one of Portugal’s premium grapes. Wines made from Touriga Nacional typically display dark color and full body, intense and harmonious aromas, and blackberry and floral scents.

• Petit Verdot

  Strong with personality

  This grape variety, from the Médoc region of France, possesses a strong personality. Many prestigious Bordeaux wineries add the finicky Petit Verdot to their finest wines for structure, color, and an enlarged palette of aromas. When at its ripest, the full-bodied Petit Verdot can transfigure the character of a wine.
