✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Mourvèdre, historically known as Monastrell in its native Spain and Mataro in other parts of the New World, has found an exceptional second home in the warm, sun-drenched vineyards of Washington State. JM Cellars treats this historically rustic grape with masterly care, coaxing out its deeply complex, savory, and dark-fruited personality. Often sourced from acclaimed Columbia Valley vineyards, this wine showcases the grape's signature wild game, leather, and dark berry notes, balanced by a structured spine of earthy tannins. Traditionally used as a blending component in Southern Rhône blends, JM Cellars elevates Mourvèdre to a single-varietal showcase, utilizing careful French oak aging to soften its brawny edges while preserving its wild, untamed spirit.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
JM Cellars blev grundlagt i 1998 af John og Peggy Bigelow og er et anerkendt, familiedrevet vinhus beliggende i de fredfyldte, skovklædte omgivelser ved Bramble Bump i Woodinville, Washington, suppleret af deres egne vinmarker på Margaret's Vineyard i Walla Walla Valley. Vinhuset er dedikeret til bæredygtigt håndværk i små partier og henter førsteklasses druer fra velrenommerede AVA'er i Pacific Northwest for at skabe vine med harmonisk struktur og ægte druetypicitet. JM Cellars roses især for sin alsidige og udtryksfulde portefølje, der spænder fra karakteristiske Bordeaux-blends og enkeltmarks-Cabernet Sauvignon til livfulde Rhône-druer og hvidvine i stærkt begrænsede mængder.
