Mourvèdre

Mourvèdre, known in Spain as Monastrell, is a highly prestigious Mediterranean red grape variety famous for its wild character, tannic structure, and deep color. It thrives in hot climates, such as Southern France and Eastern Spain, producing imposing wines with aromas of black fruit, wild herbs (garrigue), leather, and earth. On the palate, Mourvèdre stands out for its strength and excellent aging capacity, evolving into wines of noble, animal complexity. It is the soul of many top Rhône and Mediterranean blends.
