Grenache blanc (Garnacha Blanca in Spanish) is a variety of white wine grape that is related to the red grape Grenache (Garnacha). It is mostly found in Rhone and in northeastern Spain. The long ripening process of the grape makes it a suitable variety for producing dessert wines.

History

The exact origins of Grenache blanc are not known, but it is believed to have originated in Spain. It is a mutation of the red Grenache grape and is grown in the same regions. The grape is known as Garnacha Blanca in Spain.

Viticulture

Grenache blanc is a late ripening grape, which requires a warm climate to fully mature. It is resistant to drought, but susceptible to wind and cold. The grape has a high sugar content, which can result in wines with high alcohol content if not properly managed.

Wine regions

Grenache blanc is grown in various wine regions around the world. In Spain, it is found in the Catalonia region, particularly in the Priorat and Terra Alta DOs. In France, it is grown in the Rhone Valley and in the Languedoc-Roussillon region. It is also found in California, particularly in the San Joaquin Valley, and in Australia.

Wine styles

Grenache blanc wines are typically full-bodied, with high alcohol content. They can be either dry or sweet, and are known for their rich, creamy texture. The wines often have flavors of green apple, honey, and herbs, with a slightly bitter finish.

Food pairing

Grenache blanc wines pair well with a variety of foods. They are particularly good with seafood, chicken, and pork dishes. The wines also pair well with spicy foods, due to their high alcohol content.
