Grenache Gris, the least important of the three Grenaches is a pink-skinned mutation of grenache noir and is most important in Roussillon where two-thirds of France’s 1,565 ha/3,866 acres in 2011 were grown. It is more perfumed than grenache blanc and can add interest to table wines. A small amount of ‘Garnacha Roja’ is grown in northern Spain.
