The grenache grape variety is typically used in the production of red wines, and is one of the most common red wine grape varieties in the world. It grows best in hot, dry conditions; the grape is generally grown in Spain, Australia, the south of France, and in the San Joaqin Valley in the U.S. state of California. The grape’s taste is best decribed as spicy with a berry flavor. The grenache grape variety is often used by winemakers as a blending component to add body or fruitiness to a wine. The grenache is also commonly used in the production of fortified wines; its characteristics of high sugar level and the lack of harsh tannins makes it particularly well-suited for this role. The grenache grape variety is most often found in Rhone wines or Grenache, Shiraz (also known as Syrah), and Mourvedre blends. The variety is also commonly used in Australian port wines. Wines made from the grenache grape variety are readily available at very reasonable prices; in the United Kingdom, these wines can be purchased for less than 10 pounds per bottle. At such a good price, this is a wine you should consider trying before choosing your wedding wines, and it’s definitely worth buying too much on a sale or return basis!
