Grape Varieties

Grenache is a versatile red grape variety known for its approachable and fruity character. It's widely grown in several regions around the world, contributing to both light and robust wines. Grenache-based wines are often enjoyed for their balance of fruitiness and softness.

Merlot is a dark‑blue grape used both as a blending component and as a varietal wine, noted for its soft, fleshy texture and earlier ripening than Cabernet Sauvignon. It thrives in cool, ferrous clay soils and produces wines with plum flavors, gentle tannins, and low acidity, often showing notes of black cherry, cedar, and herbs. The grape is widely planted, especially in France, Italy, Chile, and New World regions such as Australia and New Zealand, where it is made in styles ranging from light and fruity to rich and tannic.

Sangiovese is a red Italian grape that is the most widely planted red variety in Italy, especially in Tuscany where it is used for Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino, and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. Its high acidity and light body make it very food‑friendly, often paired with tomato‑based pasta, pizza, and grilled meats. The wine typically shows flavors of bitter cherry, plum, mulberry, and herbal notes, sometimes with vanilla and spice from oak,.
