Description

Here is the homestead of the Monastrell grape which makes up 85 percent of the blend, with the balance shared between Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Monastrell is a thick skinned grape, its wines robust and smoky with a dark fruit palate profile and hints of peat, bay and violet on the nose. The excellent 2013 Laderas packs an awful lot of detail into its modest price frame, with quite grown-up tannins held harmoniously within a fruity structure.

About this WINE

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
