Hewitson Baby Bush Mourvèdre 2021

Made from vines grown off the cuttings of the 1853 “parents” in the oldest Mourvèdre vineyard on the planet. 50% whole bunch in the winemaking and left on skins for 2 to 3 weeks for plenty of lift and punch. Garnet in hue with a bright ermine rim. Gives some ying and yang with lifted old cherry and chocolate ganache, earthy blueberries, fresh cardboard, easy licorice and master stock (anise and beefstock). Surprisingly medium bodied palate juxtaposed with dark fruit and muscular tannins.  A perfect foil to cut through young spring lamb.
