Grenache
If you’ve ever had your pinky finger extended from the glass, staring off into the lush rolling countryside, listening to someone praise the remarkable “GSM”—you might have found yourself in the Rhone Valley of Southern France, home of the desirable Grenache grape since the 17th century… or you could be sitting in a fold out chair at Linsteadt Family Winery listening to Paul rant about his love for Châteauneuf du Pape’s signature blend. Whatever the case, Grenache is not only the G in the GSM wine blend, but it is also the cornerstone grape, accompanied by Syrah and Mourvedre.
Full ripening of Grenache creates a grape which packs complex flavor, depth and character into the wine… and that is exactly what to expect from our Grenache Noir. Linsteadt Grenache carries strong notes of a spicy floral bouquet with a hint of red cherry and candied fruit (smell). This is an extremely versatile wine that displays a light, smooth body (taste) while simultaneously keeping a silky, long palate presence (touch). The nose and palate work flawlessly together delivering a divine work of art. This crimson colored wine (sight) doesn’t just flirt with your senses – it delivers the goods to all five... albeit, maybe nothing in it for your sense of hearing, but Paul would be happy to sing for your enjoyment while you sip on this delicious gem.
