Grape Notes: Grenache
Short description: Sun-loving and generous: Grenache, the grape behind Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Priorat and Provence rosé, on two illustrated pages.
Full description:
Grenache is one of the world's most planted grapes, yet few people know its name. It's the warm heart of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, the power of Priorat and the backbone of pale Provence rosé. This quick guide explains why it loves heat, why old bush vines matter, and how it changes from fresh and floral to rich and spicy.
Page two compares ten regions across France, Spain, Sardinia and Australia, with bottles to try, the names Grenache hides behind and four styles with food matches.
What's inside
Grenache at a glance: home, body, tannin and other names
A cool-to-warm flavour scale, from redcurrant to jam
How place shapes the wine, what the winemaker does, and the style dial from rosé to fortified
Ten key regions compared, with a bottle to try at every price
Label names that don't mention the grape, styles with food matches, serving and ageing
