		Alicante Bouschet is an extremely rare grape variety in Australia, indeed Vinden Estate Wines in the Hunter Valley has one of the very limited vineyard plantings in this country.
		Alicante Bouschet is a traditional style light red, with touches of floral sweetness on the nose and palate, tempered with mild dry spice on the back palate; for these reasons it presents well as an aperitif, but served chilled, stimulates and enhances a broad range of dishes.
		Alicante is equally at home with spicy Thai salads, red fleshed seafood such as Atlantic Salmon, mild Indian curries, tomato based pastas, and Mediterranean inspired fare.
