Grenache Rose is a type of wine made from the Grenache red wine grape variety. The skin of this grape is responsible for giving the rose wine its light pink color. This varietal wine is typically known for its refreshing and expressive character.
The aroma of Grenache Rose is often dominated by scents of strawberry, raspberry, redcurrant, and white pepper. On the palate, this wine can range from dry to sweet, displaying flavors of red fruits with often a hint of spice or mineral notes. It usually presents lower levels of tannins but fairly high acidity, which makes it smooth and easy to drink.
Bottles of Grenache Rose are commonly enjoyed in warmer weather because they are served chilled, which emphasizes their fresh, crispy, and fruity profile.
This varicetal is also seen as versatile for pairing with food, it goes well with a variety of dishes like seafood, grilled chicken, salads, spicy cuisines, and even barbecued meats.
While Grenache is planted worldwide, the Grenache Rose style of wine is often associated with the regions of Provence, France, and Navarra, Spain.
