Grenache Grapes - The Subtle Wine Giant

is most likely
the most vastly planted variety of red wine grape in the world. It grows in
dry, hot conditions like Spain,
and the south of France,
since it ripens late. Usually, it has a spicy, berry flavor and is soft on the
palate with a relatively high alcohol content, but it does need careful control
for the best results. Sometimes it lacks acid, tannin, and color, and is
usually blended with other varieties such as Syrah, Carignan, and Cinsaut. , where it may be known as Alicante or Carignane
Rousse.? Grenache is
also grown in California’s Central
Valley.
