what's this?

Grenache is common in France, Spain (where it is known as Garnacha), California and Australia. Light in tannins, it produces a lighter-bodied, fruity wine.

Garnacha is a grape that is very easy to look after. On the vine, it is particularly hardy, capable of withstanding the most adverse climatic conditions, from the beating sun to winds as harsh as the Cierzo in Aragón or the Mistral in the Rhône Valley. It needs little water and grows without difficulty in even the poorest of soils.

The wines produced from this grape tend to be full and pleasant on the palate, ready to be enjoyed upon release.
