Les Talandières focus on several regions within the broad, sprawling Languedoc wine region. This Grenache blend has been sourced from the Aude sub-region. Grenache blends are king in Languedoc and this one is a cracker with a bright purple colour, plenty of depth across the palate with raspberries and plums and a nice kick of spice and pepper.

Origin: Aragon, Spain. Mainly Grown In: France, Spain, Italy, USA, Australia and South Africa. Key Facts: Grenache is a life-of-the-party kind of grape — fun, fruity, and charismatic with a spicy pep to its feet and an inviting warmth of approachability. And, despite its Spanish origin and well-established 19th-century home in France (where it so happened to be the Pope’s wine of choice) the world's oldest continuously producing Grenache vines are actually in Australia. Grenache is lighter in body and softer in tannin than many other red grapes which is why it is both so easy to drink on its own and why it's teamed up to make blends with other grapes that may need a friendlier touch to soften up them up and chill out their bold, up-tight and tannic tendencies. Fun Fact: Grenache does best when grown in very warm climates.
