Deep within Aragon, a region in the north of Spain, a deep purple-red jewel dangles in bunches from vibrant green leaves. It has grown in the warm sun of its native land, filled with a characteristic berry type sweetness and just a touch of spiciness that makes it incredibly interesting to fans of wine.
This is the Grenache Grape, and it was once known as the Red of Aragon (Tinto Aragonés), and Grenache Day celebrates its history and the contributions it made to some of the world’s most delightful wines.
