Grenache is the ultimate all-rounder, producing everything from pale rosé to fortified wine. Its adaptability has transformed the grape from a mere workhorse to a fashionable option.
Justin Howard-Sneyd notes that Grenache offers the perfume and sexiness of Pinot Noir but in a riper, rounder style that appeals to many wine lovers.
The cool night temperatures in Roussillon help preserve Grenache's freshness, preventing the wine from tasting overly jammy, which can result from excessive ripeness.
Grenache's highest expression is found in wines like Chateau Rayas, illustrating its elegant and perfumed character, despite its rarity and high cost.
