"A tarry component is often found in mourvedre alongside its more fruity notes that can even have a mint or leafy note as here, along with the dominant red fruit." - James Halliday, Wine companion.

Mouvedre is most often blended in France with Grenache and Shiraz and often because traditional laws regulate that. But in Australia Winemakers are free to say why? What does it taste like on its own? So it’s only in New World Winemaking that sometimes free expression results in a whole new way of thinking about a grape variety. That is why when making this wine we did as little as possible to see what sort of natural flavours were there. And what a result! Unique aromatic spicy flavours that have a strong savoury slant are revealed. Mourvedre has high levels of natural acid so modern winemaking technology lent a hand with the use of micro-oxygenation. This involves carefully drip feeding tiny amounts of oxygen into the wine to enable it to soften and be approachable in a reasonable time. The Winemaker controls the process and if you like, dials up the mouthfeel to balance the savoury flavours.
