Monastrell is known as mourvèdre in neighbouring France, where it is often included
in rosé blends. This deeply hued wine shows mourvèdre’s floral and blueberry notes. Rivals French Tavel in full-bodied weight and richness. Well balanced and dry, with a fennel note
on the finish. Vintages. LCBO 71431
