#13 - Collecting Series - Syrah & Grenache

Build an exciting wine collection with the Collecting Series of the Vintec Club Podcast 🍷

In this new episode, we focus on Syrah & Grenache: two grape varieties that are closely linked to each other as they're often blended together in many wines around the world. Syrah (or Shiraz) is the celebrity of the appellations in Rhône Valley and the most planted grape in Australia; Grenache originates from Spain and is the third most widely planted variety in the world prized for its presence in wines like Châteauneuf du Pape or Priorat.

Together with our guest Andrea Pritzker MW, we share our recommendations of regions and producers to build an exciting Syrah/Grenache collection.

Happy Listening! 🍷
