A deep purple-red jewel hangs in clusters amongst vibrant green leaves in Aragon, north Spain. It was grown in the warm sun of its homeland, and has a distinctive berry-type sweetness. This makes it an interesting choice for wine lovers.

This is the Grenache Grape. It was once known as Tinto Aragones (Red of Aragon). International Grenache Day is a celebration of the rich history and contributions of this grape to some of the most delicious wines in the world.

The Grenache is a product of the Aragon region in northern Spain. Its original source is Garnacha. It has been cultivated in Sardinia and Southern France, San Joaquin Valley, California, and even Australia. This is actually one of the most popular red grape varieties on the planet.

The grape’s flavor profile is so varied throughout its life. It can be raspberry/strawberry with a light white pepper spice in its early years, and then aging in wine to produce leathery and tart flavors. These flavors can sound unfavorable to wine lovers who don’t love wine, but they can be an interesting point of interest to wine enthusiasts who make wine their passion.

International Grenache Day was established by the Grenache Association to honor this grape and all of its varieties and wines. Wine lovers around the globe have enjoyed new varieties of this wine over the years that have passed since its first use and cultivation.

Grenache noir, also known as red Granche, is the most well-known variety of this wine. There is Grenache Blanc as well, which is the fourth most widely planted white wine in France. You can even go further and explore more interesting varieties. There is one called “Hairy Grenache”, which was created to protect itself against transpiration using the same underleaf fuzz mechanism found in rosemary and other Mediterranean plants.

Grenache wine is often overlooked in the worlds of wine. It can be sweet or dry and has a versatile flavor that pairs well with food. International Grenache Day offers wine lovers the chance to learn about this wine and its history.
