This red wine grape variety originates in Spain but is grown extensively around the world, most notably in France, Australia, and the United States. Often blended with varieties such as Grenache and Syrah, Mourvèdre can produce highly perfumed wines that hold notes of blackberries and meaty flavours. Mourvèdre is often stored in neutral oak or large format barrels as it doesn't absorb oak flavours as well as other grape varieties.
