Hi Folks, We get so many requests for Grenache Blanc often from travellers who've tried it after visiting the majestic wine region of Terra Alta in Catalunya, (south of Barcelona, where its called Garnatxa Blanca). If you've only ever been exposed to Grenache Blanc from France (most likely the Rhone Valley or Languedoc-region, which gravitate to more of a florally and green fruit offering, than strap yourself in as the Catalan style features a lot more fruit and minerality intensity (due to the abundance of limestone prevalent in the soils throughout the region). One particular wine which best showcases the unique Catalan style is the 2022 Celler Pinol Raig de Raim Grenache Blanc Blend. So what its like?... well this features a lovely combination of aromas including apricots, melon, pears, minerality, citrus and orange blossom along with touches of cinnamon all wrapped up with well integrated crisp acidity and creamy texture. (Its delicious!)
But, if I my word's not enough to convince you.... than how about one of the World's Biggest Wine Magazine's 'Wine Enthusiast Magazine', who've just named this as one of their Best Buy Recommendations for the current 2022 Release!! From only $19 this Brand New Gold Medal Winning release is an absolute bargain for a Grenache Blanc Blend, that could become your new go to white. Enjoy!
