Garnacha Wine
Garnacha is a rich and earthy wine from Spain, known for its vibrant and complex flavor profile. It is loaded with flavors of dried cherries, cranberries, ripe plums, dried herbs, and coffee. Garnacha pairs well with a wide range of dishes, especially those with richer flavors and a liberal use of herbs, such as herb-crusted pork chops.
Garnacha, known as the Grenache grape outside Spain, is one of the most widely planted red grape varieties in the world, ranking in the top 10. It ripens late, requiring hot and dry conditions like those found in Spain, where the grape is believed to have originated. While Garnacha grows extensively across Spain and Southern France, it is also cultivated in large quantities in Australia, with moderate plantings in California and Washington State.
Garnacha is a thin-skinned grape, often referred to as ‘the Pinot Noir of the South,’ which contributes minimal tannin to the final wine. However, it compensates for this with high alcohol content, often exceeding 14% ABV, due to the hot climates it thrives in. The grape flourishes in hot, windy, and arid conditions that help control vine vigor. Naturally high in acidity, Garnacha offers a well-balanced wine, with its acidity complementing the richness of its fruit flavors.
