Breathe in a powerful nose of violets and red fruits. In the mouth expect raspberry and plum in a medium-bodied, soft and juicy wine. Until quite recently, grenache was mostly hidden in blends or loaded with oak, but in the past few years, a new generation of subtler, lighter, pinot-style wines hs seen it come a long way. The red version of grenache is one of the world’s most widely planted red grapes; part of the reason for that is its ability to withstand droughts. The grape’s thin skin and pale colouring also makes it well suited for the production of full-bodied rosé wines, hence it plays an important role in the Provence region of France. And to make up the trifecta, there is also a white grenache, known as grenache blanc. It is a mainstay of white blends in the Rhône Valley, bringing body and richness with flavours ranging from saline and citrus to waxy and tropical.
