ODE ‘Amphora’ Alicante Bouschet 2023

Fermenting and aging wines in clay amphorae is tradition dating back 6000 years. We are proud to say that this ancient way of making wine is alive and well at ODE. This age-old technique is used here to produce a modern style of wine that truly highlights the variety.

A vibrant, expressive, powerful, textured, and yet elegant wine made from 100% Alicante Bouschet. Fermented and matured for 12 months in traditional clay amphorae. Minimal intervention wine making at its best!

The perfect accompaniment to slow braised lamb or beef shanks as well as rich hearty stews. Its texture and focus also makes it a great wine for mature hard cheeses like Parmigiano Reggiano or Serra do Estrela.

HOW LONG CAN I KEEP IT?

This well-structured wine will continue to develop complexity and become even more elegant and expressive over the next 10 years.
