It's harvest season and Enso Winery is working with Mourvèdre! We had a blast destemming with wine makers Chris and Ryan last Saturday -- so you're welcome in advance for making your bottle of wine pure and bug-free. You may remember these rock star chemists from the stellar Resonate unveiling a few months ago (you can now try a glass of the Resonate White at the new Hall of Records on Belmont!) This artisan Mourvèdre will be available from the Enso team Autumn 2011 -- I can't wait!
Varietal Stats
What - Known best for it's velvety, gamey body, Mourvèdre is often described as powerfully animalistic. Also known as Mataró and Montastrell.
Where - Grapes are grown primarily in Spain and for blending with Grenache and Syrah in the Rhone Valley, France.
Why - Wines pair best with hearty, winter meals such as turkey, pork roast, game fowl, and chicken and dumplings, so think Mourvèdre when picking up your Thanksgiving bottles!
