The new Granacha Blanca's here! The new Granacha Blanca's here!! The new vintage of Las Colinas is back baby!!! Okay......(deep breath)......chances are you are not quite as excited about this as I am. But you should be. Because this wine ROCKS!!! Wait a moment....(another deep breath)....alright, I'm calm now. Now you may ask what the heck is Granacha Blanca? The short answer is, it's Granache. You know, the grape that makes the red wine? It's the the exact same grape, white and red wine to be made from different grapes. They don't have to be. For the most part, the grapes are the same color it's how the wine is made that changes the wine. In red wine the wine is fermented with the skins in and in white wines the wine is fermented without the grapes skins. Normally Granache is made into red wine but Las Colinas has made it into a white wine and it is wonderful. A very Spanish white dry and austere but full of mineral and tropical fruit flavor a darn near perfect white wine. ***++
