Mourvedre
Mourvedre, Spain's second most important black grape after
Grenache, is also planted heavily in Provence and the Languedoc. The
variety buds and ripens notoriously late. Wines made from Mourvedre are
very useful for their structure.
The Mourvedre was picked on 30th September, 2009, when the
alcohol potential was 14.3% Baumé and had an
acidity content of 3.6
grams/litre H2S04. THe Mourvedre
will be gently macerated in order
to extract flavour and colour. This is the first crop to be taken
from the Mourvedre vines, which were planted in March 2007
Domaine Sainte Rose will produce a single Mourvedre based wine from the 2009 vintage:
La Garrigue-
A special blend of
Syrah, Mourvedre, and
Grenache
