Everything you need to know about the Garnacha grape

What is Garnacha?

Garnacha is one of the predominant varieties in Aragón, which is giving us spectacular wines, and whose experimentation generates very interesting projects.

The history of Grenache goes back more than 3,200 years, when both Grenache rouge (commonly called Grenache "a seca") and Grenache blanc, Grenache pellucida and Tintorera

Shared in red wines, white wines and rosé wines

There are very few types of grape in the world from which both red and rosé wines and white wines can be made, and Garnacha is one of them.

In fact, you can even toast with a glass of cava with Grenache!

The Garnacha is a very versatile grape that has been planted in Spain (and, especially, in Aragón, with great wines produced by the Masters of Wine Fernando Mora and Norrel Robertson).

The second most planted grape variety in Spain

Gredos, Navarra, Montsant, Rioja and especially Aragón, are the regions that produce wines with this variety. In recent years, investment and experimentation has been made with this grape, both in monovarietal wines and in coupages, and it is currently producing some spectacular wines

Did you know that 70% of Garnacha Blanca is produced in the Terra Alta region? It is an area of Tarragona halfway between Cambrils and Alcañiz.

Two Masters of Wine giving it all

Fernando Mora and Norrel Robertson are leading this new revolution of the Garnacha grape throughout Aragon, making this grape variety one of the best, most acclaimed and generating the most expectation nowadays.

You can see all the wines of Fernando Mora in his project Bodegas Frontonio and of Norrel Robertson with his Bodega El escoces-volante.
