The Grenache grape grows in warm and dry areas, think of the South of France, Spain, South America and also California and Australia. This grape is also the most cultivated type of grape in the world for producing red . As already mentioned, the grape is called ‘Garnacha’ in Spanish. But you may also know it as ‘Cannonau’, which is what it is called in Sardinia. This grape is a real holidaymaker, and needs sun and hot rocks to fully bake and ripen. Grenache contains little tannin and is sensitive to oxidation, so it is better to drink it immediately instead of storing it. The grape has a thin skin and is therefore lighter in color compared to other red wine varieties. The more grapes per bunch, the lighter the color. The high sugar content is typical for this wine and also makes it stronger in alcohol content, but also sweet and firmer. Grenache wines can be recognized by a taste of white pepper, herbs and fruit. In terms of smell, you can smell almost the same ingredients: blackberries, pepper, cherries, berries and a slightly spicy smell. Tibouren: a Provencal blue grape variety of good quality. Mainly found in Provence. This grape variety is vulnerable to coulure, which can cause low yields. Delivers a very spicy and characterful dry rosé in which herbs and some fruit dominate. Cinsault is an old Mediterranean variety that is also written as cinsault. Cinsaut has been grown for centuries in Languedoc, Roussillon, Provence and the southern Rhône. This grape’s reputation for producing large yields of poor to average quality is partly true. It can give high yields, but at low yields it can produce quality wines. Cinsaut is sensitive and likes dry, poor and rocky sandy and clay soils and is known to be drought and heat resistant. Wines from Cinsaut are often blended with varieties such as Grenache, Mourvèdre, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon. This grape produces light, soft, fruity wines with a somewhat weak color. The slightly sour wine should not be stored for too long. The wines are very aromatic, especially when young, and smell of peach, raspberry and strawberry. Cinsaut is very suitable for making light rosé wines. Mourvèdre: an aromatic grape, dark in color and rich in tannin, which gives wines with sufficient strength and length.
