Believed to be of Spanish origin, the grape is popular in Spain, where it is called garnacha or garnacha tinta and found in various parts of Catalonia (including Priorat, where it is the main traditional red grape) and in Rioja, Campo de Borja, Cariñena, La Mancha, the region of Madrid, and elsewhere.

While the wines it produces are generally lighter than those made from syrah or mourvèdre, they are typically fruit and intense in flavor. In addition to the world-renowned red wines of Rioja, Priorat, and Ribera del Duero and the increasingly popular whites of Rías Baixas, the cavas (sparkling wines) of Catalonia, and the nonpareil apéritif and dessert wines of the Jerez, or sherry, region, first-rate wines in every style and at every price range are produced in such places as Calatayud, Campo de Borja, Somontano, Cariñena, Bierzo, Cigales, Toro, Empordà, the region of Madrid, Utiel-Requena, Ribeira Sacra, Ribeiro, Valdeorras, various parts of the Balearic and Canary islands, and many more.Īn extremely versatile variety, planted all over the world.
