Mondeuse red wine variety

This variety is more correctly known as Mondeuse Noir. There is a Mondeuse Blanc but it is less important In Australia we like to shorten names so it is most often referred to just Mondeuse here.

Wines made from Mondeuse are aromatic, spicy, deeply coloured and show firm tannic structure.

Brown Brothers have had this variety for over a hundred years in their Milawa winery. They use it in a blend with Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon.

In more recent years a few other wineries have started to make Mondeuse wines. It seems that we may see more Australian wines made this variety.
