Garanoir is a red wine grape variety that is predominantly grown in Switzerland. This varietal was bred in the 1970s as a hybrid of Gamay and Reichensteiner grapes.
Wines produced from the Garanoir grape exhibit a deep ruby-red color and typically have a medium body. They are savored for their rich flavors, with tasting notes often revealing elements of ripe berries, cherries, and sometimes spices.
Garanoir wines are known for their soft tannins, making them highly approachable and often enjoyed young. However, they can also be aged to develop more complex flavors.
These wines may exhibit a certain freshness and acidity, which pairs well with a variety of dishes, particularly those featuring red meats or game. The vine is resistant to vine diseases and gives a quite high yield.
