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

Review by Mr. ROMAIN G. Published on May 22, 2016

La Gran de Granacha is a robust wine that’s pleasant on the palate and very typical of red Grenache. I find it a bit too high in alcohol—all things considered, I prefer the Terraventoux from the same winery.
