In Spain Grenache is know as Garnacha and this particular wine is from a rising star region in north Spain called Calatayud. Here garnacha makes wines with spice and dark fruit flavours and importantly with wonderful acidity and structure which means the wines can age well.

Remy Febras Ventoux 2020 – Waitrose – £7.99, £2 off until 27/2/24

Grenache is often used in blends to add its classic red fruit flavours of cherry, strawberry and raspberry to the finished wine. This version is a blend of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvedre – a typical Rhone blend. It is medium bodied, well balanced and packed full of fresh fruit flavours such as cherry, raspberry and notes of fresh herbs. The tannins are lovely and soft and it has surprisingly long finish.
