Mourvèdre

The Mediterranean grape that needs the sun.

What

The Mourvèdre vine in leaf and cluster, from the plates of the Ampélographie.

Why

Grown along the Mediterranean from Provence to Spain, Mourvèdre ripens late and only where the sun is strong.

Notice

The tight, dark clusters.

“Some grapes wait for the heat, and so do some wines.”
