Mourvedre
|
The Mourvedre is a late ripening
red grape variety that is widely planted along the French and Spanish
coasts of the Mediterranean Sea. It is used in the Rhone
river valley of France
in blends of Cotes du Rhone and Chateauneuf du Pape. Mourvèdre
performs well in warmer growing areas and well drained (even stony)
soils. Its wines are medium bodied, deeply colored and full
of fruit (cherry and berries). It can improve for up to 10 years
when stored properly. |
