About This Wine


Merce Carme

Monastrell

Our Merce Carme Monastrell is unique, rich, and everything you want out of a bold red wine. This delicious new vintage offers savory aromas and subtle spice accompanied by stewed dark fruit flavors. The Monastrell grape variety is indigenous to Spanish soils but is revered across the globe. Each new country that falls in love with this hardy, thick-skinned grape seems to give it a different name. The French know it as “Mourvèdre,” while New World regions often refer to it as “Mataro.” No matter the name, this grape consistently delivers stunning, sultry wines with intense flavors and tantalizing texture. Our Merce Carme represents the classic styling of this wine and the proud history of its homeland. If this is your first taste of Spanish Monastrell, we are confident it will become a wine you’re delighted to discover and proud to share.

Wine Region


Spain

While its reputation as a serious wine destination was eclipsed by France and Italy for many years, ignoring Spain today means missing out on some of the world's most exciting wines. Enjoying hundreds of miles of sun-kissed coastline and rocky interiors at higher elevations, Spain provides an ideal location for vineyards. Whether it is sparkling cavas from Catalonia, crisp Verdejos from Rueda, sublime Tempranillos from Ribera del Duero or inky Monastrells from Valencia, Spain has many wine styles to explore, all expressing the country's wildly unique terroir.
