Winemaker Notes
Dark ruby in the glass, the wine shows a mix of blue and black fruits, peachy high tones, and Mediterranean garrigues – lavender, rosemary and thyme. Full bodied on the pallet with just a hint of tannin.
Great to pair with hearty bean dishes, roasted and grilled meats.
Grenache thrives in any warm, Mediterranean climate where ample sunlight allows its clusters to achieve full phenolic ripeness. While Grenache's birthplace is Spain (there called Garnacha), today it is more recognized as the key player in the red blends of the Southern Rhône, namely Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Côtes du Rhône and its villages. Somm Secret—The Italian island of Sardinia produces bold, rustic, single varietal Grenache (there called Cannonau). California, Washington and Australia have achieved found success with Grenache, both flying solo and in blends.
