The 2022 Fowles Stone Dwellers Mourvèdre is a savoury and medium-bodied Victorian red that highlights the earthy, spice-driven character of this classic Mediterranean variety. The nose is expressive and layered, showing aromas of dark cherry, blackberry and plum alongside notes of dried herbs, pepper and subtle earthy spice.
On the palate, it is smooth and balanced with fine tannins and fresh acidity, delivering flavours of dark berries, black olive and gentle savoury spice. The texture is supple yet structured, leading to a dry, persistent finish with good depth and regional character.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent alternative red for customers looking to explore varieties beyond Shiraz or Cabernet Sauvignon. Its savoury profile and balanced structure make it highly food-friendly and approachable. Best enjoyed over the next 4–6 years. Ideal with slow-cooked lamb, chargrilled vegetables, roast pork or Mediterranean-style dishes.
