You’ve probably been hearing a lot about the value of a raw foods diet.

Grenache is most likely the most vastly planted variety of red wine grape in the world. It grows in dry, hot conditions like Spain, and the south of France, since it ripens late. Usually, it has a spicy, berry flavor and is soft on the palate with a relatively high alcohol content, but it does need careful control for the best results. Sometimes it lacks acid, tannin, and color, and is usually blended with other varieties such as Syrah, Carignan, and Cinsaut. Grenache is a dominant variety in many Southern Rhone wines especially in Châteauneuf-du-Pape where it is typically over 80% of the blend, and in Australia it is usually blended in “GSM” blends with Syrah and Mourvedre.
