September 18th is International Grenache Day!

Every year on the third Friday in September, International Grenache Day creates awareness for one of the most widely planted grapes in the world. It’s also a day to celebrate this red-wine grape.

The Grenache grape is a bright red fruit that adds both a refreshing and appealing flavor to wines. Winemakers prefer this grape due to its low acidity and tannins, which helps to make the wine taste less bitter. They also blend the Grenache grape with other grapes to create the perfect bottle of wine.

Winexpert blends this grape with Shiraz and Mourvedre to create our Classic GSM wine kit.

Winexpert also makes a Grenache Rosé from Australia. A very dry, crisp delicious rosé.

Celebrating this day is simple! Pour yourself a glass of wine made from the Grenache grape. Reserve Grenache Rosé, Classic GSM  are your choices and they are both on sale today only. Save $15 in honour of Grenache Day!

Tempranillo Day is celebrated on the second Thursday of November every year and this year, it falls on November 13. The Spanish word ‘Temprano’ translates to ‘early,’ and Spain’s native Tempranillo grapes are called so because they are harvested early in the season. In 2011, the Tempranillo Advocates Producers and Amigos Society (TAPAS) celebrated the first Tempranillo Day with the goal of providing a way for people to add to the complexity of their wine drinking.

Celebrate with a glass of Tempranillo – plum, raspberry, and black cherry aromas and it’s fruity taste perfectly complements dishes with a hint of spice, making it a classic pairing with Spanish chorizo. Because of its low acidity, medium tannins, and savory flavor, Tempranillo wine pairs well with a wide range of salads and entrées.

To celebrate we are offering $15 off our Classic Tempranillo wine kit. Today only!
