Grape Type; Grenache/Garnacha

Grenache, or Garnacha as its known in Spain, is a grape variety that thrives in environments many would suffer in. Intense sunshine and drylands are widespread in Spain, and are Grenache’s best friends, with their ability to excel in these conditions.

This has led to widespread plantings of very old vines. Grenache is a bit magical, as it is adept at changing itself to fit its environment, and its capable of producing a wide range of styles and expressions. From light and fragrant Grenache from South Africa to bold, spicy expressions in Catalonian and beyond.
