While it\u2019s most famously grown throughout France<\/a><\/strong> (France currently holds the most acreage of Grenache at over 230,000), the grape was thought to have originated in Spain<\/a><\/strong>, where it\u2019s called \u2018Garnacha\u2019 and thrives due to its tolerance to hot and arid climates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n IN THIS GUIDE:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n However, in a relatively recent DNA analysis done on fossilized\u00a0Cannonau red grape seeds found in Sardinia<\/a>\u00a0(Red Cannonau is another name for Grenache in Sardinia), it was determined that the Grenache grape variety likely originated on this Italian Mediterranean island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Grenache is a fun grape variety in that it\u2019s spicy, grounded with soft tannins, fruit-forward and medium-bodied. This allows for wines to be paired with an endless assortment of food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Like its Spanish cousin Tempranillo<\/a><\/strong><\/span>, Grenache wines will have a lower viscosity than, for example, Syrah. It typically maintains a black cherry and red garnet color in the glass while being aromatic with strawberry and plum on the nose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A large portion of Grenache and Garnacha wine drinkers around the world appreciate this grape for its drinkability while young. Youthful Grenache gives way to fruit-forwardness and a spicy nature, all adding to Grenache\u2019s drinkability. However, it is worth mentioning that many old-world winemakers are discovering how much more savory this wine can become if it were to be aged. While trying to find a balance between the young flavor attributes, some vintners note that it\u2019s within aged Grenache and Garnacha that you may<\/em> find the most heart in this variety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is important to note that depending on the region Grenache is grown and how it is aged, it can vary in flavor, backbone, and intensity. Classic fruit notes include plum, bright strawberry, black cherry, and currant, with white and black pepper, Asian spice, cocoa, mint, black tea, and a granite-shale minerality. When it\u2019s fuller in body, the deeper fruit notes are more pronounced but when it\u2019s lighter, expect more of those high-toned notes like strawberry and currant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Grenache is very versatile and food friendly. Pork, duck, Mexican dishes, Indian dishes, lamb meatballs, swordfish tacos, and flank steak all work well. If you're into meat, try going with leaner cuts and no shortage of seasoning. Mexican food, Cajun-spiced heavy-bodied fish, and spicy Indian dishes are all equally perfect Grenache food pairings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For vegetarian dishes, anything from frittata to paella can work if the seasoning is up to task.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Currently, Grenache is grown vastly throughout the Rhone region of France and Central to Northeastern Spain \u2013 West of Catalonia<\/a><\/strong>. It grows well in dry, warm, and well-drained soil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In Priorat, Spain<\/a><\/strong>, Garnatxa vines thrive in schist and slate-based soil where they strain for their nutriment. Ultimately, these vines produce rich and complex wines with elevated alcohol content. Sometimes over 17%!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Rh\u00f4ne<\/a><\/strong> and Catalonia provide unique granite, limestone, and shale soil compositions \u2013 which retain heat well. This further enhances not only Grenaches\u2019 ability to grow well but also its flavor profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n New World wine-growing regions throughout Southern California and the Hill Country of Central Texas<\/a><\/strong> have also had strong success in producing Grenache. The climate and soil makeup in these regions is similar to that of Southern France and Central Spain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bigger, bolder versions of Grenache are very age-worthy, depending on how they\u2019re crafted. Grenache-based Rh\u00f4ne blends can age for years, as can higher-end Garnacha from Spain. Cannonaus are often meant to be drunk young but they do have the heft to fare well over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Written By Jamie Metzgar<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Jamie Elizabeth Metzgar began her career in wine by pouring in a tasting room on the East End of Long Island, NY. After moving to New York City, she landed a position at Chambers Street Wines where she was encouraged to pursue wine education at the Wine & Spirits Education Trust (WSET). She earned Level III certification there and has since earned California Wine Appellation Specialist and Certified Specialist of Wine certifications as well. After way too many moves, she has recently landed in Northern California where she is compiling an unofficial roster of dog-friendly tasting rooms.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n (Pronounced \u201cgruh-NASH BLAHN\u201d)<\/strong><\/p>\r\n Grenache Blanc is a \"Superhero.\" It's full-bodied, charming, juicy, rich, nutty, spicy, and usually invisible. Sound too good to be true? Well, that's because it's a mutant. Like Marvel Comic's X-Men<\/em>, developing unique traits over time fighting for peace and equality, Grenache Blanc's superpower crosses borders while elevating everything it touches to a higher level. Genetically, Grenache Blanc is a color mutation of Grenache Noir, AKA Grenache; its better known \"twin\" and shares an identical DNA profile.<\/p>\r\n Grenache Blanc is most famous for its role in France's Ch\u00e2teauneuf-du-Pape, C\u00f4tes du Rh\u00f4ne, and the Languedoc-Roussillon<\/strong><\/a> regions where it's permitted to be blended with all 13 Rh\u00f4ne varietals<\/strong><\/a> both white and red! However, it's in Spain where it's considered a real hero\u2014cultivated throughout the country. Here it's found in the fantastic destinations of Navarra, Terra Alta, Alella, Rioja Costers del Segre, Tarragona, Arag\u00f3n, and Rioja, where it's called Garnatxa Blanca, as well as in Cari\u00f1ena, Calatayud, and Somontano; and blended with Viura, Parellada, Moscatel and Malvasia.<\/p>\r\n As you may have gathered, Grenache Blanc is a great team player that makes good wines even better, especially when teamed with Roussanne<\/strong><\/a><\/span> and Marsanne<\/strong><\/a><\/span>. Like most superheroes, it's a showoff, being excellent at expressing its terroir. When nurtured in a warm, dry climate and planted in a mix of sand, limestone, and clay, Grenache Blanc produces a medium-sized, compact bunch of small berries with crisp acidity and mineral expression of its roots. Unchecked, it can get \"fat and flabby,\" reaching high-flying alcohol levels up to 15%, and in France, that's when it ends up in fortified and Vin Doux Naturel wines.<\/p>\r\n For years Grenache Blanc has been vinified as a single varietal in Spain and France. Still, it wasn't until 1992 when it was planted in California's Central Coast that its individual traits became recognized for the rest of the world. At that time, famed Ch\u00e2teauneuf-du-Pape producer Ch\u00e2teau Beaucastel and the United States wine importer Vineyard Brands grafted Grenache Blanc vines on to rootstock at Tablas Creek Vineyards in Paso Robles. Pow! Success! After that, it didn't take long for other New World winemakers trying to meet the demand for alternative whites beyond Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc to follow suit. Now, Grenache Blanc is cultivated in Napa Valley, Santa Ynez Valley, El Dorado County, the Shenandoah Valley, the Russian River Valley, Red Hill Lake County, Monterey County, Applegate Valley, and Yakima Valley. While still a generous contributor to blended wines wherever planted, when vinified alone, it's usually made dry, varying widely from lightly flavored, mineral-infused expressions to lush and dense.<\/p>\r\n At its best Grenache Blanc is a delicious full-bodied wine that's typically vinified dry. In the glass, it's straw-colored amid hints of green and aromas of toasted nuts, cumin, nutmeg, dill, and anise. Fresh underbrush raises to white flowers, yellow peach, lychee, tangerine, and subtle mineral. Its aromatics carry through to its taste, with medium to high alcohol, and can have a creamy texture when aged on its lees.<\/p>\r\n Grenache Blanc's refined and intricate flavor profile makes it well suited for richly seasoned dishes. The secret to complementing cuisine with Grenache Blanc is to consider its spiced hints and rich texture, remember not to go too spicy; bouillabaisse, oily fish like sardines, tuna and mackerel cod, ceviche, miso soup, Raman, nut crusted baked goat cheese, roasted pork with apples, Chinese chicken salad, spicy peanut sauce, orange chicken, salsa Verde, white bean salad, turnip gratin, summer vegetable stew, stuffed zucchini flowers, Korean fish sausage, buttered corn on the cob, patatas bravas, escargots with garlic butter and crab cakes are a few dishes that will make Grenache Blanc soar.<\/p>\r\n Spain<\/p>\r\n France<\/p>\r\n Italy, Sardinia<\/p>\r\n Croatia<\/p>\r\n Macedonia<\/p>\r\n Australia<\/p>\r\n South Africa<\/p>\r\n USA<\/p>\r\n Spain<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\r\n La Sastreria, Carinena<\/p>\r\n Espelt Vailet, Emporda<\/p>\r\n Jordi Oliver Conti 'JOC', Emporda<\/p>\r\n Artadi Artazu 'Santa Cruz de Artazu' o, Navarra<\/p>\r\n Flor de San Martin Garnacha, Navarra<\/p>\r\n Scala Dei - Massipa de Scala Dei, Priorat<\/p>\r\n Terroir Al Limit Soc.

<\/a> While I was recently in DOQ Priorat, Catalunia, Spain<\/a>, I was offered the opportunity to sample 80 year old vine Carignan from this beautiful region<\/a>. As you can see from this photo, Carignan in Priorat<\/a>\u00a0grows in slate and schist based soil, which really forces the Carignan grape to work for its nutriment in this terroir. Thus, Carignan here is flavor packed and very complex.[\/caption]\r\n\r\nLearn About These Other Wine Grape Varieties<\/span><\/h3>\r\n
