grenache gris

As a colour mutation of the red Grenache, Grenache Gris brings a fascinating structure to the glass. Deeply rooted, particularly in the wind-swept Roussillon, its reddish-grey berries impart a fine phenolic grip and an almost saline texture to the wines. Whether as a characterful white wine with smoky minerality or as a salmon-coloured rosé, the grape variety possesses an engaging warmth paired with a spiciness reminiscent of wild herbs, which pairs outstandingly with Mediterranean fish dishes.

Just how versatile the variety is can be seen at Majas, where it yields a light-hearted, pale pink rosé full of freshness. The Roc des Anges estate, on the other hand, harnesses its power in a white blend with Macabeu for deep, mineral structure, while at Matassa it provides freshness and drinkability in juicy, light red wines.
