Mourvèdre

Gorgeous, intense red in colour with crimson nuances, Les Jamelles Mourvèdre starts off with very fruity flavours of strawberry, peach and currants on the palate. It features spicy aromas reminiscent of wild Mediterranean herbs, notes of marzipan, honey, lavender, thyme and bay leaf along with a hint of roasted meat. On the palate, it is surprisingly long and full bodied with well-balanced tannins. The finish is almost sweet, giving an impression of velvety smoothness. The spicy and herbal notes are present from start to finish. This is a wine that boasts a great deal of character and power.

Food Pairing: Mourvèdre with a lamb tajine, steak with pepper sauce, game, moussaka or parmigiana. It is also excellent with cheese, especially goat’s cheeses.
