Mourvèdre is known by various names:
in Spain as Monastrell (or occasionally Morastell or Morrastel), in the
Americas and Australia as Mataro (or occasionally Esparte), and in
France sometimes as Balzac. Its taste varies greatly according to area,
but often has a wild, gamey or earthy flavor, with soft fruit flavors of
blackberry. Probably Mourvèdre's finest region
is Bandol on the Mediterranean coast of Provence where it dominates the
region, producing wines reminiscent of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. It is
particularly successful in the Jumilla region of Spain where it is used
as a varietal, or in blends with Cabernet Sauvignon, Tempranillo or
Merlot.
