Delving Deeper into South African Mourvedre
Mourvedre, a grape variety known for its deep colour and robust flavours, finds a unique expression in the terroir of South Africa. The warm climate and rich soils of the region allow this grape to thrive, producing wines that are complex, full-bodied, and rich in flavour.
The Spice Route Swartland Mourvedre: A Showcase of Excellence
One of the standout wines in our collection is the Spice Route Swartland Mourvedre. This wine encapsulates the essence of South African Mourvedre, offering a taste experience that is both distinctive and memorable.
The Spice Route Swartland Mourvedre is crafted from unirrigated bush vines planted in rich Koffieklip and Oakleaf soils. The grapes are hand-harvested and lightly crushed into open concrete fermenters, where they undergo a seven-day fermentation process. The wine is then transferred to seasoned French and American barrels for maturation, with a small percentage matured in qvervris to enhance the wine’s mouthfeel and complexity.
The result is a wine that offers a meaty and savoury aroma, tangy red fruit and blackberry flavours, and pronounced spice and herbal notes. It’s a wine that tells a story of the land, the climate, and the skilled winemakers who craft it.
