Grenache: A Wine of the World

By Brian on Thursday, February 2nd, 2012 | No Comments

By Sarah Martin

Grenache is a very popular Spanish wine that is also called Gamacha in Catalan. It is planted everywhere in the world. It is a red wine grape that does bet in hot dry condition so it also does well in the South of France. It is thought to have originated in Spain, probably in the Aragon wine producing region.

It is not a boring wine. It is spicy and berry flavored and has a soft feel in the mouth. It can be more alkaline than most wines and it can be used to tone down more acidic wines such as Syrah, Cinsaut and Carignane. It is low in pigment and is used to temper the taste of harsher wines. It tastes of vanilla and blackberry.

In fact you find Grenache as a component in all kinds of wines. It is often found in the Southern Rhone wines and also in Australian Syrah and Mourvedre (http://www.wineaccess.com/wine/grape/Mourvedre/) types of wines. It is also used as for rose in Spain and France. As it is high in sugar it can also be used to make port.

There are also all kinds of monikers to describe various subsets of this type of wine including black, which makes a dark blue and hairy wine which is made from a mutant Grenache grape that is covered with down. There is also a white version of this wine called Grenache blanc. It is sold on its own but it is also blended with many white German wines.

This versatile grape was also grown in Californian vineyards during the prohibition era in the United States. It allowed consumers to make small amounts of the wine in their kitchens at home. It was sometimes crossed with another grape called Petit Bouschet for the purposes of making “bootleg wine.”

Nowadays it is a bulk wine in California. It is has been supplanted by vines for making Merlot (http://www.wineaccess.com/wine/grape/Merlot/) for the most part and is not really used for making premium wines from that state.

It is a vintage wine in Australia as it has been gown there in vineyards since 1832. Traditionally the grape was used to make Australian brands of port and other types as fortified wine. Nowadays Australia produces respected varietals with these grapes include Shiraz and Mataro blends.

In France it is found mainly in the Lagudoc Roussilon vineyards and in the Rhone valley where it is used to make many impressive dry red wines. It is the basis of specialty wines such as Gigondas where as many as twelve grapes are included in the blend. The French also use Grenache (http://www.wineaccess.com/wine/grape/Grenache/) to make ports that are also sometimes called vins doux naturels. These are the sweet fortified wines from French Catalonia.

This vine is also very hardy and wine growers like it because it does not need trellises. In fact it grows with such vigor that vines often have to be pulled. The berries are of a medium size and are blue-black color. The grapes are plentiful one year and the plant is less fruitful the next so sometimes the wine is expensive. When it does produce it makes as many as sixteen tons of grapes per acre.

It goes by many names including Abundante, Navarro, Red Grenache, Redondal, Alicante, Canonazo, Uvi di Spangan, Elegante, Gamaccho Negro, Gamacha Negra, Tinto, Tentillo, Tocai Rosso, Toldanam, Bois Jaune, Aelante Pggiarelli and Aleante.

The kind of Grenache made with the hairier grapes goes by the names of Gamatxa Pelud, Laddoner Pelud and Gamatica Peluda.

Chardonnay

Almost everyone on the planet has heard of Chardonnay, in fact it is so popular that some people even name their children after it.

Chardonnay is commonly ordered as a type of wine from bars and restaurants but it is in fact the name of the most popular and possibly the most versatile grape in the world.

Almost all white Burgundy from Bourgogne Blanc to Chablis is made from 100% chardonnay grapes. The Chardonnay grape is also the mainstay in many types of champagne and is now even being used in Spain to make Cava.

The Chardonnay grape is so popular because it is easy to grow – that is probably why it is championed by so many grape producers. It can also be crafted into many different types of wines. Perhaps it is also so popular because it has little indigenous character of its own and instead displays the characteristics of the soil and climate where it is grown. Chardonnay has a propensity for acid and glycerine which is responsible for giving it a velvety texture – this is what is important in this type of grape. It is this texture which makes it so versatile when it comes to producing wine. It can be crafted into fresh lemony unoaked wine or aged in barrels to produce wine for a much richer palate. It is often seen as a cheap wine that is not worth trying but remember these grapes are used in top quality Chablis and Champagne, so don’t dismiss this grape and wine out of hand.

Chardonnay now comes in a host of different styles – gone are the days when all the bottles were heavily oaked, there is a chardonnay suitable for every palate and pocket and because of the versatility of the grape from almost every wine producing country in the world.

So which are the types of Chardonnay to look out for? What do they taste like? Here are a couple of generalisations to get you on your way. Of course the best way to find out which one is your favourite is to get your glass out and start tasting your way around a few of the bottles!

France produces a ream of different Chardonnays. For pure unoaked Chardonnay look for a Chablis labelled unoaked. This is great with fish as it is delicate and unobtrusive. For a clean flavoured wine with a subtle fruit aroma look to the Meursault and Montrachet regions

California produces wines that work well with grilled seasoned foods. The Napa valley produces great oaky fruity wines which are ideal for outdoor eating and drinking. For an even fruitier riper flavour try something from the Santa Barbara region, these highly flavoured wines will even taste great with grilled meats.

For a Chardonnay that is intensely flavoured and almost best drunk without food head to Australia and try something from the Hunter Valley. This tropically flavoured wine is great chilled and shared with a friend.

There are so many different types of Chardonnay from so many different countries that you are bound to find something to suit your palate. So what are you waiting for?

Talking about wine can be like talking a whole new language. It can be scary at first, but once you learnt he ropes you can start to become more comfortable. You will be more at ease and gain confidence in yourself and that is when you know that you have truly learned how to talk about wine.

Talking about wine involves knowing about wine. You need to get there are start tasting wine. Try out different wines so you can open yourself up to all the different flavors and types of wines. The more experience you have with wine, the easier you find it to describe wine and be able to talk about it in a clear and concise manner.

To begin speaking about wine you need to have an understanding of what words to use. To list a vocabulary for wine talk would take pages and pages. Instead, here are the basics you need to know.

1.Use simple and direct words. Do not try to be creative or over embellish your descriptions of wine. Too much can be a downfall and make people wonder what you are talking about.

2.Do not be too specific. Sometimes being a bit vague is better. One thing to always keep in mind is that everyone tastes things differently, so the less specific you are the more your words will appeal to a wider audience.

3.Use words that are common. Describe wine with terms that everyone can relate to. If you say a wine is ‘bold’, for example, people will know what you are talking about. However, if you use some off the wall term to describe a wine then people may have no idea what you are trying to say.

4.Be specific with color. Color is one thing about wine that is understood and it is an important factor. Make sure you are accurate as possible when describing color. Color is used to tell the age of wine and people who know wine know this, so using accurate color descriptions is a must if you want to sound like you know what you are talking about.

These four points are a great starting point when you are just learning how to talk about wine. Following these guidelines will help you to be able to work your way into the wine crowds and start to really build up a good wine vocabulary. You just have to keep at it because the more you talk the better you will get.
