Poças Fora da Série Alicante Bouschet 2022

Poças Fora da Série Alicante Bouschet 2022 is a special edition from Poças that aims to show this grape in a fresher, lower-alcohol profile (11.8% vol.) than is usual in the Douro.

Medium-intensity ruby colour, paler and less dense than usual for the grape. On the nose, notes of wild black fruit such as blackberry and blueberry stand out, wrapped in a fresh vegetal touch that adds complexity.

On tasting it stands out for its energy and freshness: clear acidity gives liveliness, while the texture is fine and polished. The tannins are discreet and very well integrated, contributing to an elegant profile. The finish lingers with a focus on freshness, without excess extraction or alcoholic weight.

In short, a lighter, more precise wine, where elegance and food-friendliness take precedence over intensity and concentration.
