2023 Brij Wines Mourvedre, San Luis Obispo, California, USA
Earthy, lifted, and elegantly rustic, the 2023 Mourvèdre from Brij Wines is a vibrant and textural expression of this Mediterranean variety, shaped by California’s cool Central Coast. Aromas of wild plum, black cherry, dried herbs, and cracked pepper give way to a medium-bodied palate with savory depth, fresh acidity, and dusty, fine-grained tannins. A soulful red with energy, nuance, and coastal freshness.
There are 20 units left in stock.
ABOUT THIS WINE
Sourced from organically farmed vineyards in San Luis Obispo County, this Mourvèdre benefits from the maritime influence of the nearby Pacific, which tempers the grape’s natural structure and brings aromatic lift. The 2023 vintage saw a cool, steady growing season, allowing for full phenolic ripeness without excess weight.
Grapes are hand-harvested and fermented with native yeasts, with a portion left as whole clusters to enhance spice and structure. The wine is aged in neutral barrels to maintain purity and expression of place. Expect notes of dark berries, dried rose, savory spice, and a stony, mineral core.
