This is what good wine from the Garanoir grape tastes like

Garanoir is a Swiss blue grape that Swiss winemakers typically use in blends with other grapes like Pinot Noir or Gamay. Garanoir adds color, spice, and fruit. It's not particularly high in acid and not overly powerful. A few winemakers make wine solely from Garanoir.

Garanoir is a cross between Gamay and Reichensteiner. Gamaret is similar. The two are "brother and sister," if you will. They were both created through a laboratory crossbreed in Switzerland in 1970. Wine has been made from it since 1990.

Garanoir is somewhat lighter and fruitier than its Gamaret sibling. It is mainly found in the Swiss regions of Valais (Wallis), Vaud, and Geneva. In total, no more than 200 hectares of Garanoir are planted, all in Switzerland except for a single vineyard in Germany. In short, it is a quite rare grape.

We currently have one wine made from the Garanoir grape in our range. You can view our Garanoir wine here.
