Monastrell

October 6th, 2008 Posted in Monastrell

Monastrell is the same grape as the French Mouvedre. Monastrell does very well in the harsh and hot Spanish climate and is very resistant to disease. It produces wines that are very high in alcohol and body, and have a great deal of color. Monastrell is the most common grape used in the DO’s of Jumilla, Yecla, Bullas, and Alicante. It also goes by Mataro in Catalan.
