Grenache probably reaches its pinnacle in Spain's Priorat and France's Chateauneuf-du-Pape, where it's the primary grape in sought-after, ageworthy wines. But much of it disappears into anonymous jugs of wine rarely sold with varietal labels. (The same is true, by the way, but even more so, of the white grape Airén, the No. 1 most widely planted variety, which is grown almost exclusively in Spain and is almost never seen in a varietal wine.) -- ================================ Check out the MiamiWine blog. http://MiamiWine.com ================================ |

Most planted worldwide? Don't know about that. In the USA it was Zinfandel to produce White Zinfandel with. Then Chardonnay passed Zinfandel up. I don't know whats the most grown in the USA today. |

Kudos to this article for appropriate citation of sources.
I haven't read "The Vineyard handbook" (I will now!), nor know anything about the author, Fegan, but at least they cite the source, and show the data. BTW - interesting site - haven;t seen it before. > Not any more it ain't > http://www.delongwine.com/news/2005/...rom-la-mancha/ > > -- > Steve Slatcher > http://pobox.com/~steve.slatcher |
