Grenache

Grenache is the main red grape of the south although a relative newcomer, planted after the phylloxera plague. It gives good fruit and alcohol but is low in acidity and oxidizes fast. It lacks colour and tannin, but is invaluable for blending. It is the backbone of red vins doux naturels in particular.
