What to Expect
Grenache is the main grape in many Rhone blends and most Cotes du Rhone and Chateaunuef-du-pape. It's a grape that yields soft, lightly colored yet full wines endowed with deep notes of strawberry and raspberry. While not prone to producing particularly rich or complex wines in France, Grenache is one of the world's most widely-planted grapes, producing unique expression where ever it is planted. It is particularly common in Spain as Garnacha, and Sardinia, as Canonnau,
Winemakers Notes
A wine that moves past the simple strawberry aromatics of many a new-world Grenache, and shows the more savory and spicy notes that are found in the great wines of the southern Rhone Valley. It is not the most tannic or darkest of wines, its appeal lies is in its velvety texture and seductive nose of spice, earth and fruit.
