This duo presents two beautiful expressions of this grape that get's passed over as a simple blender most of the time. But when farmed right, and vinted superbly, it creates a lovely still red wine that is sure to elicit a smile and google search to learn more about the grape named Mourvèdre!
Amista 2020 Mourvèdre
We call this a sleeper wine because it is often used only in blends. This beauty shines all on its own! It is full of expressive earth tones complemented beautifully by high toned cherry notes. The fruit and tannins all come together in perfect balance on the palate with a lovely finish.
Our 2020 Mourvèdre was picked early and destemmed and left whole berry. After a short cold soak, the wine was fermented with indigenous yeast and pressed off the skins after 8 days. We aged this in neutral oak barrels for 22 months before bottling.

Amista 2021 Mourvèdre
Our 2021 Mourvedre was made in two ways. The first lot was whole cluster carbonic fermented, where the clusters were wrapped in a bin with lots of dry ice and left to begin fermentation on their own without exposure to oxygen. After 5 days, the bin was unwrapped and foot treaded and finished with juice in contact with the skins and stems. After 12 total days, we pressed this wine directly to barrel and it aged for 16 months in neutral oak.
