Staff Pick Notes

Blackberry, black cherries liquorice flavors followed by herbaceous and gamey notes make a robust and complex wine. Wild yeast fermentation without temperature control happens in the winery. Mourvedre is the main grape but Carignan helps to soften the edges. The company is run by two sisters that are trying to keep the land as pure as possible.The grass grows high around the vine rows and sheep take care of the grass in winter! The result is a rustic wine with body and personality that reflect the land and the spirit of the producers.

Glossary

Mourvèdre

Known as Mataro in California and Monastrell in Spain, Mourvèdre can produce bold, tannic, highly alcoholic red wines. They usually show no shortage of fruit as well, and the best examples keep it all in perfect balance. Rhône-style blends are cropping up all over the world, and one of the classic tried-and-true combinations is "GSM," or Grenache-Syrah-Mourvèdre. The "M" contributes focus and fleshy character to blends - but Mourvèdre also shines on its own as a varietal wine.
