The Garnacha grape was born in the northern region of Spain known as Aragon. There, the grape began to be cultivated and was originally used for both single varietal wines as well as for blending. Oaxaca: Made with Pasilla Mixe dried peppers, a popular type of chile from that state, and the cabbage salad is called “chilito”. In the town of Juchitán the garnachas are cooked in a comixcal, a traditional clay oven. Garnacha is Spain’s third most widely-planted red variety after Tempranillo and Bobal, accounting for around 6.4% of the country’s vines (OIV 2017). Its main regions are concentrated in the northwest, running parallel to the Ebro river from Rioja to Catalonia. DO Cariñena claims to have more old bush vines than any other appellation, while DO Calatayud has its own Superior classification for wines made from at least 85% old-vine Garnacha (over 50 years old). Catalonia
DO Campo de Borja, in the heart of Aragón, is the self-proclaimed ‘Empire of Garnacha’, producing fleshy single-varietal wines with some minerality from high-altitude areas like Tabuenca. In a large pan heat about 3-4 tablespoons of lard or frying oil. Take one corn cake and place some meat on top. Then, carefully add to the pan so it will start frying. Add as many as they fit in your pan. Top with onions and cheese, then serve immediately with chilito (cabbage salad) on the side. Drinks to pair with
Human contributions
Take one ball and place it in the middle of two plastic sheets. Use your hands, a rolling pin, or a heavy dish to press and form a disc about 3.5-inch (9cm) in circumference. Allow to slightly cool down and then transfer to a blender with 2 cups of the cooking water. Add garlic, peppercorns, salt, and blend until smooth. Grenache is known for its berry flavors of bright strawberries and raspberries and notes of white pepper, with many people even saying that the wine has the unmistakable flavor of a fruit roll-up! I cooked mine in my Slow Cooker and took 8 hours at low. I like this method because I can leave all day the meat cooking and have it ready for dinner.
Suited to dry conditions, Garnacha prefers soils that drain well, like limestone or sand, forcing roots to search for water and encouraging low yields.There are many types of garnachas and all of them are traditionally eaten with your hands, this can get a little messy due to the variety of toppings and fillings but with a little practice, they can be enjoyed on the run. No cutlery is needed! The grapes gains better flavour intensity from impoverished, stony soils such as schist, sand, limestone and granite. Stony or pebbly soils can also absorb the sun’s heat and radiate it slowly at night to aid ripening in cooler, higher-altitude areas.
