Grenache Rosé

Grenache Rosé is a dry, fruity rosé made from Grenache, particularly popular across southern France and Mediterranean wine regions. Expect strawberry, raspberry and watermelon with citrus, herbs and gentle spice. Fresh but full of flavour, it’s brilliant with prawns, grilled chicken, salmon, pizza, salads and Mediterranean dishes.

Taste:

Juicy red fruit, fresh citrus and a little Mediterranean sunshine.

Grenache Rosé is typically dry and light to medium-bodied, with refreshing acidity and flavours of strawberry, raspberry, red cherry and watermelon. You may also find grapefruit, peach, fresh herbs and subtle peppery spice.

Grenache naturally produces generous fruit, which gives its rosé plenty of flavour without sacrificing freshness.

Styles can vary considerably, from pale, delicate versions to deeper pink wines with more body and concentrated red-fruit character.

Rosé doesn't have to whisper. Grenache got the memo.

Food Pairings:

Grenache Rosé is one of those wines that gets along with an impressive amount of food.

For seafood, try prawns, crab, calamari, grilled salmon, grilled fish or seafood pasta. Garlic prawns and seafood salads are particularly good matches.

For meat, pair it with grilled chicken, roast chicken, chicken kebabs, pork, sausages or charcuterie.

Pizza is another easy win. Try Margherita, prosciutto, vegetable, chicken or spicy salami pizza.

Mediterranean food works beautifully too, including Greek salad, tomato and mozzarella salad, grilled aubergine, roasted peppers, hummus, falafel, couscous and herb-packed salads.

It can also handle lightly spicy dishes, including chicken tacos and mildly spiced Mediterranean or North African food.

For cheese, try goat's cheese, feta, mozzarella or Brie.

More About Grenache Rosé:

Grenache is one of the Mediterranean's great red grapes and is widely used for rosé across southern France, particularly Provence, the Rhône Valley and Languedoc-Roussillon.

The grape is naturally well suited to warm, dry climates and brings ripe fruit, body and relatively soft tannins to rosé.

To make the wine pink rather than red, the juice spends a relatively short period in contact with the dark grape skins before being separated and fermented.

Grenache is also known as Garnacha in Spain, where it produces plenty of rosado alongside its famous reds.

Red wine. Rosé. White mutation. French name. Spanish name.

Grenache really doesn't believe in limiting its LinkedIn skills section.
