Grenache Blanc

Grenache Blanc is a popular white grape variety that can often be seen growing on the valleys of the Rhone region as well as northeast Spain.

These are related to the Grenache grape and hence the similar name. The only difference lies in their color and viticulture characteristics, the former being red while the latter being a white grape.

After Trebbiano, Chardonnay, Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc, this is the fifth most popular grape in France.

Its popularity is attested to its several flavours and blends it produces with each modification in its viticulture environment and fermentation.

Generally producing an alcoholic, low acidic grape, the Grenache Blanc also gives off herbal as well as citrus notes. Originally attested to valleys of northeast Spain, it is still grown there and is ranked the ninth most popular Spanish grape.
