Description

This wine hails from a rather privileged spot on the eastern side of the Bandol appellation. Such superb terroir and the domain’s meticulous production methods are both strong indicators of quality, but only when tasted does Terrebrune really distinguish itself from other ambitious Provençal rosés. Grapefruit, lemon and apricot combine seamlessly on the nose. The palate is relatively full-bodied with an imposing mineral backbone, citrus and a hint of spice. A superb foil for even the most robust Mediterranean dishes.

Mourvèdre

Mourvèdre

Mourvèdre, aka Monastrell 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 Rhône, Languedoc & Rousillon blends. 

The grape needs a warm climate to ripen fully. Its stronghold in Spain are the appellations along the south-east Mediterranean(Murcia, Jumilla, Bullas), where it produces rosé, dry red and sweet fortified wines. Monastrell has played a significant part in Spain’s vinous heritage; it nurtures wines that are deep in colour and richly tannic, sometimes overbearing in their intensity and concentration
