Welcome Berry Bros. & Rudd

Mourvèdre


Mourvèdre, aka Monastell in Spain, is a common blending partner of Syrah and Grenache (aka Garnacha in Spain). In Australia and California it can also appear under the name Mataro.

Mourvèdre's bastion in France is Bandol, where it reigns supreme in the red blends and yielding a savoury, gamey, herby wine. It also commonly features in Southern Rhone, Languedoc & Rousillion blends. 

The grape needs warmth climate to ripen fully. Its stronghold in Spain are the appellations along the south-east Mediderranean (Murcia, Jumilla, Bullas), where it produces rose, dry red and sweet fortified wines.

"Reynald Dellile has done great things at Terrebrune, now seen as one of the finest properties in Provence. This excellent rosé, half Mourvèdre, half a combination of Cinsault and Grenache, is a worthy exemplar of such recognition. A brief saignée has preserved the lively and refreshing falvours; the personality of the Mourvèdre has not been sacrificed however; there is a powerful savoury undertow at work here, lending bass notes and chairascuro to the red berry plush." (Simon Field MW, BBR Buyer)

"Like the previous red, this impressive Aussie offering makes delicious upmarket barbecue fodder and heaves with all sorts of sweet, ripe, hefty, faintly burnt black fruit flavours."

"Decadent deep seated glazed black cherries, chocolate, plum cake and even orange peel aromas suffuse the senses. On the palate, Hewitson Old Garden Mourvèdre offers full, super suave with gorgeous loganberry and spice notes which never run riot, remaining gently sublime.

Dean Hewitson has made it his ambition to propagate ancient pre-phylloxera Mourvèdre and Grenache bushvines. In doing so he hopes to leave a unique resource for those coming after, just as the Lutheran forefathers had provided for his generation 150 years ago." (David Berry Green, BBR Buyer)
