At the beach, by the pool, or, even, in the backyard, enjoy a glass of chilled Light-bodied White Garnacha. This terrific white wine embodies the summer season in every sip. It’s crisp and refreshing with apple, peach, and lemon notes. Add a board of soft cheeses, olives, and fresh veggies, and let the party start!
What’s great about Grenache Blanc, it’s that it offers an array of styles, from distinctly minerally wines with herbal and floral aromas to fleshier versions full of tree fruits and occasional toasty notes from oak influence. When it’s time to share some appetizers, Full-bodied Grenache Blanc is fantastic. Fresh or fried seafood pairs well with this fruity and rich wine.
However, if you’re craving American fried chicken to commemorate the Labor Day holiday, don’t hesitate to open a bottle of Sparkling Garnacha. The bubble’s dance will keep the palate fresh to enjoy every bite. For the sugar lovers, bring the chocolate cake or fruit tart, and pair it with a perfect chilled flute of bubbles. This sparkling wine will elevate your Labor Day celebration.
Because this holiday is about enjoying the last sunny days of the season, simple and light appetizers can be great options to delight yourself or your guests. A board of charcuterie with cured ham, bread with tomato or anchovies, or grilled tuna mini sandwiches paired with the tasty and red fruit aromas found in Grenache Rosé , is the perfect combination for a day full of pleasures.
When the menu includes poultry, salmon, or a big plate of veggies, a Light-Bodied Red Grenache is the best match. Fresh, fruity, and bright with aromas of berries, this elegant wine is an explosion of flavors in the mouth. It could be your favorite partner at any time of the day, and even without a meal.
If you’re planning to have the last big barbecue of the season, and the palate needs something big and bold, pair those burgers, ribs and sausages with a Full-bodied Garnacha Tinto. This wine is robust and concentrated, with velvety flavors of blackberries and spice. Perfect for the bold flavors of a BBQ.
For dessert look no further than Fortified Sweet Grenache wine, or Vin Doux Naturel (VDN). It may be a dessert in a glass but it also is the perfect accompaniment to fresh summer fruits, chocolate or even apple pie!
Enjoy Labor Day with European Quality Garnacha/Grenache wines or enjoy a glass for any occasion and keep exploring the diversity of styles!
