It has traditionally been used in Southern Rhône blends along with Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre. It is one of the permitted minor grape varieties in the Châteauneuf-du-Pape blend and widely used for the production of rosé wine in Provence.

Sugars are simple carbohydrates that can be found in everything from fruits and potatoes to various plants and cereal grains. And the type of base ingredients distillers use varies from spirit to spirit. The article Every Major Spirit Category and Its Base Ingredient [Infographic] appeared first on VinePair .
