Primarily used as a blending grape where colour and tannin are needed, Alicante generally makes wine with less distinction in character than its counterparts and has texture that is somewhat coarse. Colour is its main asset, allowing any wine it is blended with to carry the great colour of the Alicante grape.

When young, the wines offer a very intense aroma of fresh red and blackberries. In the lightest versions notes of cherries, raspberries and blueberries and with notes of blackberry and black cherries in wines made of more ripe grapes.

The flavour profile of Cabernet Franc may be both fruitier and sometimes more herbal or vegetative than Cabernet Sauvignon, although lighter in both colour and tannins. This juice is typically spicy in aroma and often reminiscent of plums and especially violets.

Gentle fruity bouquet with subtle undertones of oak. A soft, mellow, fruity palate full of juicy blackberries and black currants with light spices. Less than Cabernet and much softer making this a very easy drinking red.
