International Grenache Day is an annual wine-related observance that celebrates the Grenache grape variety and the wines it produces. It typically takes place on the third Friday in September each year. The day is dedicated to promoting Grenache wines, raising awareness about this versatile grape, and encouraging wine enthusiasts to explore and enjoy Grenache-based wines.

Grenache, pronounced "gruh-NASH," is a red grape variety widely cultivated in the world's major wine-producing regions. It is known for its versatility and ability to adapt to various climates and soil types. Grenache is a key component in many famous wine blends and is also used to produce varietal wines.

Origins: Grenache likely originated in Spain, specifically in the region of Aragon. It is one of the most widely planted grape varieties in Spain and is used in the production of many Spanish wines, including those from regions like Rioja and Priorat.

International Presence: Grenache has also gained prominence in other countries, including France, where it is a major grape variety in the Southern Rhône Valley, particularly in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. It is also found in regions like the Languedoc-Roussillon and Provence.

Characteristics: Grenache grapes are known for their thin skin and high sugar content, which makes them suitable for producing both red and sweet wines. The wines produced from Grenache grapes are often medium to full-bodied with moderate acidity. They are known for their red fruit flavors (raspberries and strawberries) and sometimes exhibit hints of spice and herbs. The grape's thin skin can result in wines with relatively low tannin levels.

Blends: Grenache is frequently used in blends, often alongside other grape varieties. In the Southern Rhône, it is a key component in the GSM blend (Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre). In Spain, it is part of blends like Rioja and Priorat wines.

Varietal Wines: Grenache is also used to produce varietal wines, particularly in regions where it thrives. These wines can showcase the grape's unique characteristics and can range from light and fruity to more robust, depending on the winemaking techniques employed.

Climate: Grenache is known for its adaptability to warm and dry climates. It thrives in regions with ample sunlight and can withstand hot temperatures. Its resistance to drought makes it a valuable grape variety in regions with water scarcity.

Sweet Wines: In addition to red wines, Grenache is used to produce sweet wines such as fortified wines, such as Vin Doux Naturel (VDN) in the Southern Rhône and Banyuls in France.
