Grenache (greh-nash) or Garnacha in Spain, is one of the most widely planted red grapes in the world. It is great on its own or blended with other varietals.. Great with simple tapas, fish and veal.
What type of wine is a Grenache and what does it taste like?
If you're asking what type of wine is a grenache, think of it as the "warm-hearted" cousin of Pinot Noir. It’s a medium-to-full-bodied red wine that’s famous for being smooth and fruit-forward and is a delicious explosion of ripe raspberries, strawberries, and a signature hint of white pepper spice. Because it has lower tannins, it feels incredibly plush in your mouth making it a good grenache wine for those who don't like that "drying" sensation on the tongue.
