2022 Mount Majura Mondeuse

Frank Van der Loo first became interested in Mondeuse back in 2002, during a trip to France.

He sourced some cuttings when he got back to Australia, planted them in gardens here and there for a while, until in 2010 when he decided to plant one and a half rows on the Mount Majura vineyard. It's taken off since then.

As a variety, it's closely related to Shiraz but this has a feel all of its own. Perfumed yet earthy, crackling with spice and energy, this is a fascinating wine.
