Merce Carme
Spain
This full, fruity, award-winning red is a blend of the new and the familiar
ABOUT THIS WINE:
Merce Carme
Monastrell
French wine lovers might know this much-loved black grape as Mourvèdre, but in Spain’s warm climates it goes by the name Monastrell. A sun-worshipper, the grape thrives in the heat to create a fruit-forward red with a generous hint of spice. Prepare to discover dark fruit flavors of black cherry, pomegranate, and plum, combined with decadent notes of bittersweet chocolate. You’ll pick up plenty of spice, too, with moments of cardamom and clove. It’s at once new and familiar. This wine pairs perfectly with an evening by the barbecue. Serve with pork sausage or short ribs, and watch it quickly become a firm favorite among your friends. Judges love it too! It took home a Silver medal at the 2020 Winemaker Challenge.
