A delicious treat, the lively 2012 Viñas del Vero La Miranda de Secastilla Garnacha Blanca displays ripe fruit, some nuttiness, and savory spices in its flavors. The wine's soft touch pairs it perfectly with chicken and sausage paella. (Tasted: September 6, 2017, San Francisco, CA)
Producing full-bodied white wines, Grenache Blanc can be unctuous and soft or floral and fresh. Some of the finest examples are terroir-driven, age-worthy wines. It is a key ingredient in white Châteauneuf-du-Pape and many white blends across southern France and NE Spain. Somm Secret—Grenache Blanc plays a key role in the vins doux naturels of Rivesaltes and a subsidiary role in those of Banyuls and Maury.
Literally meaning ‘under the mountain,’ Somontano is a diverse region located in the foothills of the south central Pyrenees. Heavy winter rains supply the region with water even throughout the summer.
