The Wine Front – “White is a blend of Tim’s favourite white varieties. Enigmatic white. Enticing perfume, almond blossom, mandarin peel and nougat. There’s roasted almond crunch with a sprinkle of salt, yellow peach flesh, grapefruit pith and ginger warmth to finish. Textural, spicy, grippy. Feels honest and well-made. Good stuff. Very tasty.” – Kasia Sobiesiak

Grenache Blanc, often overshadowed by its red counterpart, Grenache, is a white grape variety that originates from Spain but has found a significant place in the vineyards of France, particularly in the Rhône Valley. This grape is appreciated for its plush texture and versatility, both as a solo performer and in blends. Its wines often exhibit notes of green apple, pear, and sometimes hints of anise or licorice, coupled with a vibrant acidity that keeps them lively on the palate. Due to its robust nature, Grenache Blanc vines thrive in various terrains, from rocky slopes to coastal areas, consistently delivering grapes with character and depth. As wine enthusiasts increasingly seek alternatives to more common white varieties, Grenache Blanc stands out as a choice that is both familiar in its fruit-forwardness and intriguing in its unique profile.
Grenache Blanc is a distinct white grape variety that, as its name suggests, is a counterpart to the more well-known red Grenache. Originating from Spain, it has been adopted and cultivated extensively in the vineyards of France, particularly in the Rhône Valley. Grenache Blanc wines are celebrated for their rich textures, high alcohol content, and vibrant acidity. On the palate, they often exhibit flavors of green apple, pear, and sometimes even nuances of herbs or licorice.
The heartland of Grenache Blanc is Spain, but its prominence in France, especially the Rhône Valley, cannot be overstated. Within the Rhône, regions like Châteauneuf-du-Pape produce exceptional Grenache Blanc wines, often blending them with other local varietals. Additionally, California's Central Coast and parts of South Africa are emerging as promising New World regions for this grape, showcasing its adaptability and global appeal.
The popularity of Grenache Blanc wines is on the rise as wine enthusiasts seek alternatives to mainstream white varieties. Notable expressions come from Rhône producers, especially in appellations like Châteauneuf-du-Pape and Côtes du Rhône. In the New World, several Californian wineries are gaining attention for their standalone Grenache Blanc wines, highlighting the grape's versatility outside its traditional European homes.
For those seeking the best value, the Côtes du Rhône region offers excellent Grenache Blanc wines at more accessible price points. These wines retain the characteristic flavors and aromas but often come without the premium price tags of more prestigious appellations. Additionally, exploring offerings from emerging regions like South Africa and California can yield delightful surprises and great value.
The rich texture and lively acidity of Grenache Blanc make it a versatile partner at the dinner table. It pairs splendidly with a variety of dishes, from grilled seafood and chicken to more robust fare like pork or veal. Its affinity for herbs means it complements dishes seasoned with rosemary, thyme, or fennel. For a regional pairing, consider Provençal dishes like bouillabaisse or even a classic Spanish paella. The wine's balance of fruitiness and acidity ensures it enhances a meal without overshadowing it.
