Varietal: Agiorgitiko
The Mourvèdre varietal grape is believed to have been brought to Spain over two thousand years ago, where it quickly became popular as it flourished in the greener regions of the country. Before long, it was being grown and processed in many different regions of France, and today it is grown in several New World countries. It is often used as a blending wine, and is particularly successful when blended with Grenache and Syrah varietals. Mourvèdre wines tend to be quite tannic and high in alcohol and acidity, however, with careful handling they produce remarkably flavourful wines packed full of unique flavours and aromas. Mourvèdre wines are often described as having meaty or game notes, coupled nicely with dark berries and deep, complex earthy flavours.
Country: Greece
Thanks to thousands of years of viticulture, and a dedication to quality and experimentation, Greek wines remain in a league of their own and continue to surprise and delight wine lovers around the world. From the refined and delicious Agiorghitiko wines, with their deep ruby red color and intense fruit flavors, to the unusual and highly aromatic fortified wines made with the black Mavrodaphne grapes, Greek wine is renowned for its variety and consistent excellence. It seems the blazing Mediterranean sunshine allows wineries to make the most of the late harvests and all the intensity of flavor this brings, resulting in wines which are bursting with fruit-forward character and unusual aromas.
