03 Old Vines Mourvedre
Can you say “More-ved-dra” please? This amazing wine comes from eighty year old vine Mourvedre, farmed on the Enz Vineyard of Lime Kiln Valley, California. Although popularized in southern France, Mourvedre actually originated in Spain where it is called Monastrell. It is widely planted on Spain’s southeastern coast and falls just behind Grenache as the most widely planted grape in Spain. This wine is truly exotic. The rich mouthfeel is loaded with dark fruits and exotic spices. We’d love to tell you more, but want to leave the descriptive exploration of this wine up to you.
