Syrah, Grenache and Mourvedre (Grape Guides to Varieties),Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
The most important factor in determining the taste of a wine is the grape variety from which it is made. This unique series looks at each of the major grape varieties and assesses wines made all over the world from that variety. The focus of the series is primarily on flavour and quality. Each volume includes background information on the grape variety and advice on the best way to buy, store and serve the wines made from it. An extensive gazetteer lists the main wines made from the variety in Europe, North and South America, Australia and New Zealand, and elsewhere. A special feature of this series is the individual ratings given for quality, price and best recent vintages.Practical, authoritative and easy to use, these guides are indispensable companions for all who care about the character and value of the wine they drink and who want to make the most of the everincreasing range of wine that is now on the international market.Syrah is nothing like so well known a grape variety as Cabernet Sauvignon or Pinot Noir, yet there is no doubt that it makes some of the world's greatest red wines. The aristocrats of the northern Rhone such as Hermitage, Cote Rotie and Cornas, which are made almost entirely from Syrah, have suffered ups and downs in reputation. Now they are very much back in fashion. Ten years ago, few would have believed that a singlevineyard Cote Rotie would sell for more than Chateau Petrus. These days the best producers of Hermitage, Cornas and Cote Rotie could sell their limited production, even at the current extortionate prices, many times over.Syrah is known as Shiraz in Australia, and in the hot Barossa and Hunter Valleys it makes massively rich, ripe longlasting wines which are arguably as great as their more refined Rhone relations. We will surely be seeing a worldwide Syrah boom in the next decade.The other two grapes dealt with in this volume are not generally considered among the world's elite. But muchdespised Grenache is responsible for eighty per cent of ChateauneufduPape, now being appreciated as one of the great French wines, as well as delicious, unpretentious reds, roses and fortified wines from France, Spain and Sardinia.Mourvedre, the star of Bandol in the south of France, is fast becoming the most fashionable grape variety of all, especially since its discovery by the Rhone Rangers of California. Giles MacDonogh provides uptotheminute information on its strides forward in the New World, as well as the best producers worldwide of all three grape varieties.
