Grenache | Garnacha | Grenache Noir
Grenache, also known as Garnacha or Grenache Noir, is a versatile and highly esteemed grape variety in the world of wine. It is primarily grown in regions such as France, Spain, and Australia, where it thrives in warm and dry climates.
One of the most important regions for Grenache production is the Rhône Valley in France, particularly in the southern part where it is used to make rich and full-bodied red wines. In Spain, it is a key component in the production of Rioja and Priorat wines, adding depth and complexity to the blends. Australia, specifically the Barossa Valley, is also known for its Grenache production, with wines that showcase its vibrant fruit flavors and spice notes.
Grenache grapes are known for their thin skins, which contribute to their pale color and low tannins. This makes them ideal for producing light and fruity wines, often with flavors of red berries, cherries, and hints of herbs. However, when grown in older vines and in low-yielding conditions, Grenache can produce more concentrated and complex wines with flavors of black fruits, licorice, and even a touch of earthiness.
There are many natural wine producers making excellent use of Grenache, including Axel Prüfer, Domaine de l'Horizon, Vinos Ambiz, Mendall and Sylvain Bock.
