Origin and history
Grenache, one of the most widely planted red wine grape varieties globally, originates from Spain, where it is known as Garnacha. It likely emerged in Aragon in the 14th century and spread across the Mediterranean, flourishing in both Spain and France, particularly in regions like Rioja and the Rhône Valley. Grenache thrives in hot, dry climates, contributing significantly to robust, fruity wines often noted for their lush berry flavors and spicy undertones. This versatile grape is a key component in many blends, including Châteauneuf-du-Pape, and is celebrated for producing both rich, deep reds and vibrant, refined rosés.
