Product Description
Alicante Bouschet is the only grape variety in the Rockford stable without a long history of viticulture in the Barossa Valley. Grenache however does, and has been part of the landscape for more than 150 years. Because Alicante has a genetic link to Grenache, it is well adapted to our warm Mediterranean climate. Alicante Bouschet is a variety which ripens with full flavour at low sugar levels, allowing us to make a fresh, spicy and aromatic Rosé-style wine with naturally low alcohol.
