{"product_id":"2023-mount-majura-mondeuse","title":"2023 Mount Majura Mondeuse","description":"\u003cp\u003eMount Majura’s fascination with alpine varieties has found a perfect home for Mondeuse. Originally from the Savoie region of France, this variety is a half-sibling to Shiraz but thrives in much cooler, leaner conditions. At Mount Majura, it’s increasingly seen as the logical successor to Pinot Noir as the climate shifts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2023 vintage was a true \"cool-climate\" season, shaped by a late, wet spring and a mild summer. Yields were low, but this allowed the fruit to ripen slowly and develop deep aromatics at a modest 13% alcohol. To ensure the wine had enough presence, Frank van de Loo used a \"double pressing\" technique to pull extra depth from the skins before fermentation in old barriques.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's a red that feels like it belongs in the mountains. It’s a wash of dark forest fruits underpinned by snappy, wild mountain herbs and peppery spice. The palate is light-footed but texturally interesting, with a nervous energy and a clean, savoury finish. It’s a compelling, nerdy alternative for those who love the structure of cool-climate Shiraz but the weight of Pinot.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mount Majura","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43855155626027,"sku":"2023 Mount Majura Mondeuse","price":34.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2572\/9722\/files\/2023MountMajuraMondeuse.png?v=1776403950","url":"https:\/\/www.differentdrop.com\/products\/2023-mount-majura-mondeuse","provider":"Different Drop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
