The Montrachet glass is perfect for full-bodied white wines such as:
The wide bowl steers the wine to the sensitive parts of the tongue, ensuring that the acidity creates a harmonious balance with the sweet aromas of aged wines.
The wide bowl allows the full bouquet of aromas to develop, and minimise the risk for it to be over-concentrated.
Garnacha Blanca originated in Spain, probably as a mutation of the red Garnacha.
It is majorly found in Catalonia (Terra Alta), Aragon, Rioja and Navarra regions.
From Spain, it spread to France (Rhône Valley and Châteauneuf-du-Pape) where Grenache Blanc is typically used to balance the honeyed richness of Roussanne.
Garnacha Blanca can stand on its own but oftest used as blend.
Rioja is a famous wine region in the north-central part of Spain.
The region is best known for the Red Rioja Wine: a blend of the "Grape of Spain" Tempranillo, along with other fruity additives like Garancha, Mazuelo, and Graciano.
