4. Garnacha, a grape variety originating from the Kingdom of Aragon in northeastern Spain, can be traced back to 153 BC, and the history of Garnacha wine actually predates written records. During the expansion of the European continent from the 12th to the 17th century AD, Garnacha took root in southern France, Corsica, Sardinia, southern Italy, Sicily, Croatia and even Greece. Until the 1990s, red Garnacha was still the most widely planted red grape variety in the world.

Nearly 93% of the world&#39;s Garnacha vines are planted in Europe, with France and Spain being the most widely planted. As part of the Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) and Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) in the European Union (EU), Calatayud, Campo de Borja, Cari&ntilde;ena, Somontano, Terra Alta, Priorat and Roussillon guarantee their origin and quality, with their names, characteristics and products protected by the EU Geographical Indication. Seeing a PDO or PGI label on any food or drink is a guarantee of quality, taste, diversity or respect for tradition.

The Grenache variety produces sweet, fruity and very diverse wines, well suited to the Mediterranean climate and terroir of Europe. Depending on the location of the vines, its fruit can be used to make red, white and ros&eacute; wines; still and sparkling wines. Even natural or fortified sweet wines.

When mature, Grenache has a high sugar content, which makes it easy to make wine with a high alcohol content. It also has a strong aroma of sweet red fruits such as red cherries, strawberries, mulberries and red plums. Red wine, white wine, ros&eacute; wine, sparkling wine or fortified wine made from Grenache all have their own characteristics, satisfying different dining and tasting needs.
