Understanding Grenache
Grenache is one of the most widely planted red wine grapes in the world, appreciated for its ability to produce both deeply flavorful and approachable wines. The grape’s naturally high sugar content and robust body make it an excellent candidate for both single varietal wines and blends, revealing a spectrum from sweet berry flavors to spicy, earthy notes depending on the terroir and winemaking techniques used.
Characteristically, Grenache presents a palette of raspberry, cherry, and blackberry, with hints of white pepper and cinnamon. It is a grape that does not shy away from showing a bold, engaging personality, making it a favorite for those who seek wines that offer both richness and a playful complexity.
