"Grenache grapes growing in the Languedoc Roussillon of the south of France where is well suited to the dry warm yet often windy environment around the Mediterranean. It is more widely grown in Languedoc Roussillon that any other region of France. The high sugar levels of Grenache have led to extensive use in fortified wines, including the red wines such as produced around Banyuls. It produces strong wines with a deep colour and a lovely fruity, raspberry and blackcurrant flavour. The wine the grape makes is low in tannin, making it excellent to blend with the higher tannin varieties."
