Mourvèdre is a red grape variety primarily grown in France, Spain, and Australia. It is known for producing full-bodied wines with rich flavors of dark fruit, spice, and earthy notes. The grape thrives in warm climates and is often used in blends, particularly in the Rhone Valley and Provence regions. Mourvèdre is also recognized for its high tannin content and acidity, which contribute to its aging potential. In addition to red wines, it can be used to create rosé wines, showcasing its versatility. The grape is sometimes referred to as Monastrell in Spain and is gaining popularity worldwide.
