Monastrell Wine

Monastrell is a late-ripening red grape variety that produces powerful, dark-fruited red wines and is often featured in distinctive red blends. Native to Spain, it thrives in warm climates like Jumilla and Yecla but is also grown in France’s southern Rhône Valley (where it’s known as Mourvèdre). The grape has a pivotal role in one of France’s most prestigious blends: Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Its bold and earthy qualities make it a favorite for those who enjoy big, full-bodied red wines.
