| | BOUTIQUE WINE SELECTION - Selected by Bryce McNamee |
 | | Grenache — This is the most planted grape variety in the world. | | | Grenache usually ripens more than the other two varieties and leads to some of the riper sweeter flavors and makes for the aroma of the wine to show more prominent. | | | One only has to look at regions such as Burgundy with its Pinot Noir or Piedmont with it Nebbiolo grapes or the Mosel for its Riesling wines. |

| | Grenache |
| | Grenache noir is the world's most widely planted grape used to make red wine, sometimes made into a stand-alone varietal, frequently as a rosé, but most often as a backbone of red blends. | | | The grape is known in Italy as cannonau. | | | The grenache grape is relatively low in both pigment and malic acid, and oxidizes readily. |

| | Grenache - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Grenache is a sweet red grape variety grown primarily for the making of wine. | | | It grows well in hot, dry regions, and is grown in Southern France, Spain, South America, and California 's Central Valley. | | | Officially, the Spanish name consists of two varieties: the white Garnacha Blanca ( Grenache Blanc) and the more popular red Garnacha Tinta ( Grenache Noir). |

| | Grenache is good with cheddar, Crottin, Dry Jack, Fontina, hard sheep's milk cheese, and washed rind cheeses. | | | This is really good with the creamy nutty cheese and the thick fruit, but the wine way overpowers the cheese. | | | The key flavors of Grenache are licorice, raspberry, smoke and herbs. |

| | About Grenache: a Rhone Grape Varietal Grown at Tablas Creek Vineyard, Paso Robles, California |
| | Grenache produces wines with high concentrations of fruit, tannin, and acids. | | | The phylloxera epidemic of the late 19th century indirectly increased European plantings of Grenache. | | | Grenache appears to have originated in Spain, most likely in the northern province of Aragon, and ampelographers believe that Grenache was the foundation of Aragon’s excellent vin rouge du pays. |

| | Turkey Flat Vineyards - Wine Reviews |
| | Grenache is a good blender and is used that way in the Chateauneuf-du-pape reds from France. | | | A delightful bouquet of Grenache on steroids, currant jubes, hot confection and a sprinkling of clove and cinnamon spice, there is a high alcohol lift with a hint of black tar. | | | Sweet raspberry and violet aromas abound, and the wine's soft, generously fruity palate is restrained by a crisp acid finish. |

| | Like grenache, the mourvedre grape is probably Spanish (where it goes by the name monastrell) in origin. | | | In California, Tablas Creek Vineyard imported Grenache Blanc cuttings from Château de Beaucastel in 1992, and the BATF recognized the varietal as distinct from Grenache Noir in 2003. | | | Grenache Blanc is the white-berried equivalent of Grenache Noir, and, like its red variant, is drought-resistant, vigorous, and easy to graft. |

| | Another great example of pinot noir as grown in the Adelaide Hills, and a wine that will improve in the cellar for five years or more. | | | The 2003 Grosset Pinot Noir is very much in the established style: delicately scented with intense sweet blackberry and wild raspberry complexed by some savoury beetroot and truffle flavours. | | | Balanced and structured with sappy, violet, raspberry and cherry flavours, hints of redcurrant and all the flavours of the forest floor. |

| | Grape Varieties - Grenache Noir |
| | Black pepper, white pepper, ground pepper - they are all there in some form when Grenache is present in the grape mix as is loads of very accessible fruit. | | | You won’t see it on many Aussie wine labels but there are a number of interesting varietals being made there. | | | If you’re playing your part in the increasing popularity of rose in this country, chances are that you will be drinking a wine made from Grenache, especially if it’s from Spain or the South of France. |

| | Wines & Vines: Stop and smell the roses - rose wines |
| | Roses of some sort are produced in almost all wine--growing countries, the best of them from the Grenache, Pinot noir, Cabernet franc, Gamay and several Italian grape varieties; they should be served chilled and drunk young. | | | A true vin rose is by no means a blend of red and white wines, but a special product, usually made from black grapes alone, and owing its color to the fact that it was neither fermented entirely with grape skins (like all red wines), nor entirely without (like all white wines). | | | Sebastiani made "Eye of the Swan" (and still does--from Pinot noir), and there were variations from others such as "Eye of the Partridge," a faintly colored, semi-sweet wine. |

| | For decades wine-making in Roussillon was centred upon vins doux naturels, the sweet wines based on Grenache, Noir, Gris and Blanc. | | | White wines too are from Grenache, blanc and gris, and the often despised Macabeu, but with some subtle oak ageing, so that carefully crafted winemaking can produce quite unexpected and delicious results. | | | Ripe Grenache produces some stunning rich flavours, conveying all the warmth of the countryside, giving you a real sense of place, with berry fruits, liquorice, balanced by some subtle oak ageing. |

| | High alcohol, but Grenache seems to take this better than most grape varieties. | | | It's not a wine to take too seriously, but it does deliver a good dollop of bright, tasty fruit with an appealing spiciness and nice acidity. | | | The palate is broad, slightly sweet and has a nicely savoury edge. |

| | Wine Writing |
| | The key is to use high quality red grapes — Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier mostly — which are crushed and briefly left soaking with their skins, then the juice is drained off taking its seductive pink tinge with it. | | | Having said that, most rosé Champagnes aren’t made like this but are a blend of red and white (Chardonnay) wines; the fizz and unique taste are then created in the usual way by slow second fermentation in bottle and ageing on the yeast. | | | Grape varieties: Mostly Syrah with Grenache and Mourvèdre. |
