Monastrell, Also known as Mourvèdre, is a red grape that is used extensively in the Rhone valley and Spain. It has tough-to-describe characteristics of wild game, earth, pepper and bitter fruit. These qualities make it a nice match with roasted game (pheasant, duck, etc.).

Bodegas Agapito Rico of the Jumilla region of Spain makes a great & affordable example of Monastrell in all its gamey glory
