Spanish Monastrell, also known as Mourvèdre in France, is a red wine grape variety that thrives in the warm climates of Spain, especially in regions like Jumilla and Yecla. The grape produces wines with high tannins and high alcohol content, often showcasing deep, rich flavours of dark fruit, such as plum and blackberry. Monastrell wines may also feature notes of black pepper, leather, or earth, and they can develop more complex flavours, like tobacco and cocoa, with oak ageing. If you have a palate for robust, full-bodied red wines with layers of flavour, Spanish Monastrell could be an exciting variety for you to explore.
