Description:
Another exciting addition to our Rhône portfolio, Grenache has been widely used in many different forms for many years. Unfortunately, it was widely used to make a bland, fairly sweet pink wine for a number of years leading to the negative reputation of the varietal. It is now slowly becoming known as a wonderful grape varietal with many great qualities to offer. In France, it has a great reputation in wines such as Chateauneuf du Pape and Gigondas in the Southern Rhône . We have been growing Grenache for a number of years and using it as a blending varietal in our Fleur de Montagne. We usually blend the Grenache with 20% Syrah to increase the complexity and structure of the wine. It is a lovely ruby color with very characteristic aromas of black cherry, raspberry and strawberry fruit, spice cake and a hint of pepper. It is great with many different dishes such as barbecued chicken, Korean barbecued beef, or stuffed pork tenderloin.
