2022 Brecon Reserve Mourvèdre (Last Bottles!)
Think you are stepping out of your comfort zone with Mourvèdre? Think again! Mourvèdre has been the backbone of many collectible Rhône wines for centuries. It's French, so it's rarely on the label! However, in Paso, it shines with dark enigmatic fruit, rich mouthfeel, and beguiling color. Brecon wines are all experiential so we encourage you to imbibe out of said zone. Hint: try with feet dipped in an icy mountain stream, baby fish nibbling at your toes. It sends shivers down your spine! Complemented by the warmth of the Mourvèdre, the earthy aromatics seem right at home near the forest floor. Guppies in a fish tank will never be the same!
