Grenache / Garnacha Day Celebration - £40pp

  • Liquorice Wine and Deli 65 Hutton Road Shenfield, Essex, CM15 8JD United Kingdom (map)

Grenache (known as Garnacha in Spain) is a chameleon grape whose white, gris and red forms each offer vivid, approachable wines that are often underestimated and misunderstood; the red Grenache grape produces plush, juicy wines with bright red fruit, gentle spice and a warmth that gives a generous mouthfeel yet can show surprising finesse and age-worthiness when handled with care. It’s also used in the production of many a Provence rosé too. Garnacha Blanca yields rich, textured whites with stone-fruit and honeyed notes that balance acidity and weight beautifully, and Graenache / Garnacha Gris offers aromatic, textured wines with delicate floral and pear notes perfect for both vibrant drinking and food pairing.

The grape’s reputation has suffered from overcropping and mass-market simplification, which masks its true potential for terroir expression and complexity, but planted and vinified thoughtfully it rewards with wines of charm, versatility and value that deserve far more respect than they commonly receive.

The evening will kick off at 7.30pm and will be hosted by Anthony Byrne.

Along with these amazing wines, we will be serving a selection of artisan cheeses from our deli.
