Blend

Blend grapes, as their name might suggest, are not a standalone species of fruit but rather a mix of different grape types. They have been meticulously cultivated and cross-pollinated to create wines that combine the best attributes of various grapes, thus creating an exquisite blend of flavours which would surprise the palate.

These hybrid grapes, which often defy traditional vineyard boundaries, have been rigorously cultivated to yield a harmonious fusion of characteristics unavailable in any single grape variety. The resulting drink can be said to reach new oenophilic heights, as it mixes the refreshing acidity of one grape, the fruity aroma of another, and perhaps the rich body of a third.

Yet this evolution doesn't stop on the vines. The winemakers also utilise a highly skilled and creative blending process even after the grapes have been harvested to refine the blends further. This delicate process can take several months and relies on the seasoned judgment of the vintners to determine the perfect proportions of the various grape types.

Blend grape varieties are often characterised by their full-bodied, complex and balanced profiles, which makes them very versatile. Whether you're dining on a flavoursome cheese platter or enjoying a hearty roast, you're likely to find a blended grape wine that pairs beautifully with your meal.

Prominent examples of blended grape wines include Bordeaux and Châteauneuf-du-Pape in France, and Super Tuscans in Italy. Each of these brings its own regional touch to the blend grape wine, making it a truly global endeavour. Indeed, the blend grape represents the exciting possibilities that can emerge from cross-cultural synergies and a commitment to pushing the envelope in winemaking. The blend grape, with its unique symphony of flavours, truly stands as a testament to innovative viticulture.
