Monastrell

Red wine grape · reported 2016–2022

Further reading: VIVC catalog entry

Monastrell is the Spanish name for the red grape known elsewhere as Mourvèdre, grown in Spain's Jumilla and Yecla regions for deep color and structure. California's CDFA crush data under this specific spelling run only from 2016 through 2022, across five districts, with no Foundation Plant Services registry entry matched to the name — the atlas notes it may be reported elsewhere under Mourvèdre. Volumes stayed small throughout, never exceeding about 14 tons crushed in a year, and no bearing acreage was ever separately recorded. Reporting under this name has since stopped.
