Product Description

Mataro, also known as Mourvèdre in France and Monastrell in Spain, is a red wine grape variety that thrives in warm, dry climates, this grape is a vital component in premium wine blends, known for producing rich and full-bodied red wines. Mataro grapes typically produce wines that are deeply colored, full-bodied, and rich in flavor. They often exhibit dark fruit flavors such as blackberry and plum, along with earthy and sometimes spicy notes. Mataro wines can be quite tannic, with good aging potential, especially when grown in warmer climates where the grapes can fully ripen. In blends, Mataro is often used to add structure, depth, and complexity. It's frequently blended with other Rhône varietals such as Grenache and Syrah, as well as in traditional blends like GSM (Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre). Additionally, Mataro is occasionally bottled as a single varietal wine, particularly in regions like Australia where it's known as Mourvèdre.
