Alfrocheiro

About this grape variety

An aromatic, deeply coloured red grape grown principally in the Dão and Alentejo, Alfrocheiro produces wines of medium body, fragrant red and dark berries, gentle tannin and good acidity. It softens and adds complexity to blends with Touriga Nacional and Tinta Roriz, and as a varietal yields wines that are floral, elegant and food-friendly. Sensitive to disease and dependent on careful viticulture, but the best examples display unmistakable Dão personality.
