Wine Spotlight: Greanche Blanc

A new grape has been added to our winemaking portfolio from Cry Baby – Grenache Blanc!

 grenahce blanc-winemaking-home winemaking-musto wine grape co

 

This grape is widely planted in Spain and the Rhone Valley.

It produces wines with good alcohol content, low acidity, citrus and herbaceous notes. A great blender for Rousanne or Muscat.

It’s best to ferment at low temperatures in order for the bouquet to flourish.
