Ingredients

Description: Grenache is a medium to full bodied red wine with a fairly high alcohol level, lots of flavour, and low tannin. This one has ripe, juicy red fruit flavours like raspberry, plum, and strawberry, with chocolatey, smoky notes, and a nice, smooth, easy-drinking texture.

Pairing: Grenache works really well with chicken wings because the ripe, juicy, berry flavours mellow out and cool down the intense spicy flavours of the marinade without tannin to interfere with the spice of the dish. The low tannin is also important in pairing a red wine with a white meat like chicken - it has a nice, smooth feel in the mouth that works well with lighter meats.

Wine Suggestion: Caves des Papes Côtes du Ventoux (Rhône Valley, France)
