Grenache

Adventurous

Red · Medium · Dry

The grape that puts the warmth in southern French reds — strawberry, raspberry, white pepper, and a finish that's all sun and stones. The backbone of Châteauneuf-du-Pape and rosé from Provence.

Why it works with Seared Tuna With Kimchi And Scallion Pancakes

Grenache's mid-weight flatters Seared Tuna With Kimchi And Scallion Pancakes without taking over — the everyday red strategy.

White · Light · Off-dry

Aromatic, racy, and shapeshifting — bone-dry in Alsace, off-dry on the Mosel, syrupy and ageless when late-harvested. The single most versatile wine for spicy food on earth.

Why it works with Kimchi

Riesling's bright acid lifts Kimchi cleanly — the lean white strategy.
