The Rhône movement on the central coast has been in full swing for over a decade now in Paso Robles, and Mourvèdre is the newest driving force. Boutique producers in the area are making artfully crafted single varietal Mourvèdres, a grape typically made as a utility in blending for mid palate and overall textural sheen. To create a stand alone version of Mourvèdre, we fermented the grapes 100% whole cluster inside 500L French oak puncheons, adding a pandora’s box of spices and body to an already fruitfully forward variety of grape.
