Beaumont bottled the first single varietal Mourvèdre in the country in 1999 and since then has produced in limited volumes. Originally the grape comes from Spain and France where it is mostly used to enhance blends. Mourvédre`s dark, thick-skinned berries result in powerful spicy and sometimes gamey aromas in their youth. The old French saying goes as follows: “Mourvèdre needs to be planted with its head in the sun, its feet in cool soil and it must have a view of the sea”. Which is how the wine got the name Far Side. This connects to Sebastian passion for surfing and his favourite local surf break called “the Far Side”.
