Grenache Blend

Grenache Blend

Grenache Blend is a grape variety that originates from Spain and is now predominantly grown in France, the United States, and Australia. It is recognised for its versatility and ability to adapt to various climatic and soil conditions. Owing to its high sugar content, it produces wines with high alcohol content, usually around 15-16%.

The Grenache grape exhibits certain characteristics that make it extremely valuable to winemakers. Its thick skin and hardy vine allow it to withstand strong winds and fluctuations in temperature. Notably, this grape is also fairly resistant to drought. This grape prefers hot, dry climates and is often grown in areas where these conditions are prevalent. Hence, they thrive exceptionally well in the Rhône Valley in France, and regions of Spain and Australia.

When vinified, Grenache blend tends to boast a generous body, low acidity and berry flavours such as raspberry and black cherry. The bouquet often unfolds scents reminiscent of tobacco, cassis, blackberry, and also certain spices such as black pepper and roasted nuts. It is often blended with other varieties like Syrah and Mourvèdre to add a degree of complexity, structure and colour to the wine.

In terms of food pairing, the Grenache Blend matches well with a wide range of cuisines due to its pleasant fruitiness, especially with dishes that involve grilled, stewed and roasted meats. Its lingering, savoury finish also makes it an amazing complement to rich, spicy foods.

Handled with skill and attention to its unique attributes, the Grenache Blend grape undeniably can produce harmonious and complex wines that are capable of ageing superbly. It is a grape variety that winemakers cherish, wine enthusiasts appreciate, and sommeliers respect. Through the Grenache Blend, one can explore the nuances of wine and embark on a truly magnificent wine tasting journey.
