Mourvedre Wines

Mourvedre, also known as Monastrell, is a red grape variety primarily grown in Spain, France, and Australia. It produces full-bodied wines with high tannins and flavors of dark fruit, such as blackberry and plum, along with notes of earth, spice, and game. The ABV for Mourvedre wines generally ranges from 13-15%. Its popularity is due to its ability to produce robust, complex wines that are both age-worthy and expressive of their terroir.

The varied soils and climates of regions like Bandol in France, Jumilla in Spain, and South Australia's Barossa Valley provide ideal conditions for Mourvedre, allowing the grape to develop its characteristic depth and intensity. Mourvedre is often used in blends, particularly in GSM (Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre) blends, where it adds structure and complexity. Its role in traditional and modern winemaking practices and its potential for producing distinctive, high-quality wines ensure its continued significance in the wine world.
