When Jose Neiva Correira first decided to make a red from pure Alicante Bouschet, a grape usually only used as part of a blend, everyone thought he was mad – 'aluado', moonstruck, crazy. But a huge haul of Golds later and they've changed their minds. And our customers have always loved the velvety black fruit of this wine. Now you can enjoy the even richer punch of José's Reserva edition. He has searched out the very finest, low yielding and intensely ripe Alicante grapes for this super cuvée and you can taste that difference. Even more richness and spice, but at only 13.5%, it's still no heavyweight and has a lovely zip of freshness to all that blackberry, cassis and damson fruit. Enjoy with richly flavoured casseroles and red meat dishes.

"Reserva edition of this much-loved red. Rich, velvety and packed full of dark fruit" Jehan Sacaze
