Grenache Day goes global

Wine trade figures from across the world will be hosting events to celebrate the second International Grenache Day this Friday, 23 September. The event emerged from last year’s inaugural Grenache Symposium, which saw 250 delegates from 23 countries gather in the Rhône to draw up a blueprint for boosting the profile of the world’s most widely planted red grape variety. Some of the world’s most high profile Grenache producers are supporting this year’s event, including d’Arenberg, Torbreck, Turkey Flat and Henschke in Australia, reports The Drinks Business.
