Gran de Granacha shows a beautiful balance between fruit, smoothness, and freshness due to the high altitude of its vineyards. A very expressive wine with ripe red berries and jammy aromas of cherries and raspberries. A pure expression of Grenache...

Review and opinion by Mr. ROMAIN G. Published on 05/22/2016

Gran de Granacha is a robust wine, pleasant on the palate, very typical of red Grenache. I find it a little too alcoholic—all things considered, I prefer Terraventoux from the same producer.
