Grenache (Garnacha, Cannonau)
Tell-tale candied fruit & cinnamon flavours give Grenache away, with aromas of orange rinds & oregano or tobacco. It's an intensely flavoured wine that pairs well with roast meats and grilled vegetables, especially with dishes that utilise cumin & Asian 5-spice.
Grenache is a red grape variety that is believed to have originated in Spain, where it is known as Garnacha. Widely grown in other wine regions around the world, including France, Italy, Australia, and the United States, Grenache is used to produce a variety of wine styles, including red, rosé, and fortified wines.
In Spain, Garnacha is often used to produce bold and fruit-forward red wines, while in France, it is a key component in many Rhône Valley blends, which often include Mourvèdre and Syrah, as well as being used to produce rosé wines in the southern regions of Provence and Languedoc-Roussillon. In Italy, Grenache is known as Cannonau and is used to produce powerful red wines in Sardinia.

Is Grenache sweet or dry?
Grenache is typically a dry wine, meaning it has very little residual sugar after fermentation. However, the ripe fruit flavours can sometimes give a perception of sweetness. So while it's not a dessert wine, it definitely delivers a mouthful of delicious fruit!
Is Grenache wine heavy or light?
Grenache generally falls into the light- to medium-bodied category. It's known for its soft tannins and juicy fruit taste, making it easy to drink and enjoy. However, some Grenache wines, particularly those from warmer climates or aged in oak, can have a bit more weight and structure.
Garnacha vs Shiraz: which is better?
Ah, the Grenache vs. Shiraz showdown! Both are warm-climate-loving grapes known for their fruit-forward personalities but have distinct characteristics. Grenache often shows brighter red fruit and a spicy kick, while Shiraz tends towards darker fruit and peppery notes. Ultimately, the "better" wine comes down to personal preference. Why not try both and see which one tickles your fancy?
