Mourvèdre

Mourvèdre is a red wine grape variety known for producing bold, full-bodied wines with complex flavors. Originating from Spain (where it’s called Monastrell), it’s also popular in France's Provence and California. Mourvèdre wines often feature earthy notes, with hints of dark berries, black pepper, and sometimes herbal or gamey nuances. They typically have firm tannins and good aging potential, making them prized for their structure and depth. The grape thrives in warm climates, and wines made from Mourvèdre are enjoyed for their richness, aromatic complexity, and ability to develop more nuanced flavors over time.
