Grenache Gris

Grenache Gris is the pink cousin of the famous red Grenache grape. It’s mainly planted in the Rhône Valley, France, but can also be found as far afield as Chile. Grenache Gris is similar to Sauvignon Blanc, but softer on the palate and with a more aromatic perfume; it has a great stony-herby flavour.
