noun:[gruh-NAHSH] grape that comes in both red-wine and white-wine varietals. When used by itself, the word "Grenache" refers to the red version Grenache Noir, one of the world's most widely cultivated red grapes. The Grenache grape does well in hot, dry regions, and its strong stalk makes it well suited for windy conditions. It ripens with very high sugar levels and can produce wines with 15 to 16 percent alcohol. Grenache wines are sweet, fruity, and very low in tannins.The vine originated in Spain where it's called Garnacha; and is the most widely cultivated red-wine grape.
