2023 Mourvedre - The Prodigy
Our lightest red showcases the versatility of Mourvedre. Early harvest and short maceration give rise to an unexpected Beaujolais-esque treat.
We tend to think of the Prodigy as our lighter, fruiter version of Mourvedre, but that undersells the complexity you'll find there. The nose is filled with freshness and vitality, with floral notes and subtle berries at play, but in the mouth richness and diversity of flavors abound, with darker notes not hinted at by the light color: here, chocolate and licorice play with exotically spiced black plums. Very smooth, and truly one of a kind.
Smooth/medium bodied, medium acid, medium-minus tannin.
