Grenache, a versatile red grape variety, thrives in warm climates and is cherished for its juicy and fruit-forward wines. Originating from Spain, where it is known as Garnacha, Grenache has found a second home in the Southern Rhône of France, as well as in regions like South Australia and California's Central Coast. Known for its high sugar content, Grenache produces wines with lush red fruit flavors, such as strawberry and raspberry, and often carries subtle hints of spice and herbs. As a widely planted red wine grape variety, Grenache forms the backbone of many GSM blends, with Grenache-based wines offering a balanced, approachable character. Its thin skin and low tannins create soft, easy-drinking wines, while the high alcohol content of some Grenache wines adds intensity and warmth. Explore Grenache wines from regions like Châteauneuf-du-Pape, where single varietal expressions shine, to the bold, robust offerings from Priorat and McLaren Vale, showcasing the global appeal of this beloved red wine grape variety.
