Mourvèdre | Mataró
Mourvèdre, also known as Mataró, is a versatile and intriguing grape variety that is widely grown in several important wine regions around the world. This grape is primarily cultivated in regions such as France, Spain, and Australia, where it thrives in warm and dry climates.
Mourvèdre is known for producing full-bodied and complex wines with deep flavors and intense aromas. It is often used as a blending grape, adding structure and depth to red wine blends. The wines made from Mourvèdre are characterized by their dark fruit flavors, such as blackberry and plum, as well as notes of spice, leather, and earthiness.
In France, Mourvèdre is a key component in the renowned wines of the Southern Rhône region, particularly in the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation. In Spain, it is an important grape in the production of powerful and age-worthy wines from regions like Jumilla and Priorat. In Australia, Mourvèdre is commonly used in the production of GSM blends (Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre), which have gained popularity for their rich and complex flavors.
