Mourvèdre, Manousakis - 2019

This full-bodied dry red comes from Mourvèdre grown on schist, clay, and sandy soils. Full-bodied, with refined tannic structure, this is fermented and aged in a combination of French and American oak barrels, which are replaced every 4 years. Bursting with rich dark fruits, sweet spice, and mountain herbs, this complex red is perfect to age if you so choose. Pair with Cretan wedding pilaf.

Glossary

Mourvèdre

Known as Mataro in California and Monastrell in Spain, Mourvèdre can produce bold, tannic, highly alcoholic red wines. They usually show no shortage of fruit as well, and the best examples keep it all in perfect balance. Rhône-style blends are cropping up all over the world, and one of the classic tried-and-true combinations is "GSM," or Grenache-Syrah-Mourvèdre. The "M" contributes focus and fleshy character to blends - but Mourvèdre also shines on its own as a varietal wine.
