Noble HillMourvèdre Rosé 2019 (R91.50 Per Bottle, 6 Bottles)

About

Mourvèdre has traditionally been used for the production of high-quality rosé wines in Provence. It was therefore a natural step to use our estate vineyard and try it for ourselves. We have always enjoyed adding a bit of Mourvèdre to our Syrah for its spicy & earthy flavours.

Because the Mourvèdre (moor-vey-drug) grape is originally from the warm shores of the Mediterranean, it is heat-resistant and grows vigorously in our climate. Our small vineyard of less than one hectare is pruned to retain a large number of growth positions. This reduces the vines’ vegetative vigour and yields a balance between growth and fruiting.
