Grenache Blanc

Grenache Blanc is a white grape variety that is grown in many viticultural regions around the world. This variety is notable for its ability to carry a range of aromas and flavors as well as its versatility as a wine.

Grenache Blanc is a light green-yellow colored grape with a small, round berry. The variety produces slightly aromatic wines with notes of citrus, melon and pear, as well as floral and herbal notes. The wines typically have a full body with moderate acidity and a slightly oily texture.

Grenache Blanc is most widely grown in the south of France, particularly in the Languedoc-Roussillon region and also in the Rhone Valley. It is also grown in Spain, Australia, the United States and other countries. Grenache Blanc is a vigorous and productive variety and can be prone to over-cropping if not managed carefully. The variety thrives in warm climates, and can be sensitive to frost. It is often blended with other white varieties such as Roussanne and Viognier to add complexity and structure to the wine. Grenache Blanc is known for producing a range of styles, depending on the region in which it is grown. In the south of France, the variety is used to produce dry, fruity white wines with a good balance of acidity and a medium to full body. The variety also produces wines with a more intense flavor profile in the hotter climates of Spain and Australia. Grenache Blanc pairs well with a variety of dishes, from seafood and poultry to stes and vegetable dishes.

Grenache Blanc is a mutation of the red grape variety Grenache Noir, and is believed to have been first discovered in the south of France in the 19th century.
