Grenache
Spicy and Mediterranean Warmth
"The grape that interprets the language of the sun: juicy red fruit, ethereal elegance, and the noble rusticity of the Mediterranean landscape."
The Renaissance of a Global Icon
Grenache has transitioned from being a blending grape to starring in the most exciting single varietals. Its ability to convey the terroir is astonishing: from the mineral power of the Priorat slate in DOQ Priorat to the vertical finesse of the granites in the Sierra de Gredos, a recovery movement highlighted by specialized critics.
With a natural resistance to drought, analyzed by the OIV, this variety produces wines of unique luminosity. When choosing a label, you discover a palette ranging from pale rosés to reds with "garrigue" notes, a typical aromatic profile of the Rhône Valley regions.

Structure and Tannicity
It is characterized by silky tannins. Although its color may seem light, its body is generous, a technical trait that gives it its fame in regions like DOCa Rioja, where it contributes volume and fruit to classic blends.
