Grenache, or Garnacha as it's known in Spain, is a sun-loving grape that thrives in hot, dry climates, and it's responsible for some of the most opulent and flavorful wines in the world. Originating in Spain, it has become a staple in Southern France, especially in the Rhône Valley. A thin-skinned grape, Grenache produces wines that are often ruby-red in color with a vibrant nose of red fruits like strawberries and raspberries. On the palate, the varietal showcases its plush, juicy flavors, complemented by nuances of white pepper, dried herbs, and sometimes even a touch of leather. Due to its high sugar content, it often results in wines with elevated alcohol levels, adding to their warm and rounded character. While frequently blended—most notably with Syrah and Mourvèdre in the famed "GSM" trio—Grenache shines brilliantly on its own, offering wines that are both lusciously fruity and intriguingly complex. Its adaptability and generous profile make Grenache a cherished varietal among winemakers and enthusiasts alike.
