Grenache

Grenache, also known as Garnacha, is a red grape variety widely grown in Spain, France, and other wine regions around the world. It produces medium to full-bodied wines with flavors of red berries, spice, and a touch of earthiness. The ABV for Grenache wines typically ranges from 13-15%. Its popularity is due to its versatility, ability to produce both varietal wines and blends, and its capacity to thrive in warm climates.

Grenache is particularly prominent in regions like Rioja and Priorat in Spain, as well as the Rhône Valley in France, where it is a key component of blends such as Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The grape’s ability to develop concentrated flavors and balanced acidity makes it suitable for a variety of winemaking styles. Grenache’s adaptability and consistent quality have ensured its enduring appeal among winemakers and wine enthusiasts, making it a cornerstone of many wine traditions.
