Red Rogues Q3 2018 Club Notes
Grenache, (also known as Grenache Noir, to distinguish it from its white counterpart Grenache Blanc) is the most widely planted grape in the southern Rhône Valley, and the second most widely planted grape in the world. With its upright growth and strong, sturdy trunk, Grenache is ideally suited to being grown as a water-seeking bush vine in hot, windy areas. Its only disadvantage is its predilection to set relatively little fruit, but that, of course, means all the more flavor in the grapes that remain.
