Mourvèdre: The Sophisticate

We call Mourvèdre the “Sophisticate” because of the elegance it adds to blends.

• Small, thick-skin berries
• Tannic wines high in alcohol
• Major grape of Bandol in Provence
• Southern France and South Australia – adds flesh to GSM blends
• Widely used to create rosé
• Monastrell in Spain, Mataro in Australia

Mourvèdre does well in hot climates and should benefit from global warming
