Alicante Bouschet

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Alicante Bouschet
Origin: France
Notable regions: California

Alicante Bouschet is a wine grape variety that has been widely cultivated since 1886. It is a cross of Grenache with Petit Bouschet (itself a cross of the very old variety Teinturier du Cher and Aramon). Alicante is also a teinturier , a grape with red flesh. Its deep color makes it useful for blending with light red wine. It was planted heavily during Prohibition in California for export to the East Coast. Its thick skin made it resistant to rot during the transportation process.
