Dense palate, persistent finish. Grown in Germany (Württemberg, Palatinate, Rheinhessen) for modern-styled dry reds and blends seeking colour and substantial structure. German variety created in 1971 in Weinsberg, a cross of Dornfelder × Cabernet Sauvignon.

The word of the wine: Black Grenache
Grenache is a black grape variety that originated in Spain and is one of the great quality varieties of southern France. Sometimes vinified on its own, it is most often blended with one or more other Rhone or southern grape varieties with complementary qualities such as Syrah, Mourvèdre, Carignan or Cinsault. Its wines are warm, with aromas of red fruits (cherry) and spices; they oxidize with time. Vinified alone or in very large proportions, Grenache Noir also makes great natural sweet wines in Roussillon (Rivesaltes, Banyuls, Maury) and in the Rhône Valley (Rasteau).
