`Al-Muvedre` Monastrell

  • Regular price £14.95

Telmo Rodriguez is one of Spain’s star winemakers, and this is his take on the Monastrell grape, known in France as Mourvèdre. It’s made from ancient bushvines from villages near Alicante, all grown organically and picked by hand. Monastrell can be brutish, but this is a more perfumed, herbal style.

Wine CategoryMedium-bodied, earthy, structured reds

Tasting NotesA distinctly perfumed style of Monastrell, with potpourri and violet notes over the earthy blueberry, blackberry and liquorice. Light- to medium-bodied, with less heft than a typical example of this grape, and more acidity. Dry and savoury with a squeeze of tannin on the finish.
