AMID floods and threats of November snowfall, it might be a bit tactless to talk of sunny Spain.

But, what the heck, forget gauche and think Grenache. Or rather Garnacha, the Spanish name for it.

The Wine Society have a Spanish offer on right now, running until December 18, and one to look out for is Salvaje del Moncayo Garnacha 2014, a lightly structured, fruity and very drinkable red which is good for the senses and far from harmful on the pocket.

The Garnacha, one of the most widely planted red wine grape varieties in the world, ripens late, so it needs hot, dry conditions such as in Spain, the south of France (where it's known as Grenache), Sardinia (where it's known as Cannonau), North Africa and, more latterly, Australia and California's San Joaquin Valley.

On which note, while the Spanish say it's one of their grapes, the Sardinians may well argue it originated on their island and was taken to Spain by the Crown of Aragon many moons ago. But who knows. We can let them fight it out in their warmer climes while we use their creations to help us see out this rain.

This Salvaje del Moncayo is grown in high-altitude, and thus relatively cooler, vineyards in the Moncayo mountains in Aragon, producing a refreshing but floral style of Garnacha with soft tannins and a flowery flavour.

It's quite strong at 13.5 per cent but, while peppery and tangy, it isn't overwhelming and, at £6.95 a bottle, it's far from overwhelming on the wallet too.

Moving on the white mutation of this particular grape, there is also a Jaspi Blanc Terra Alta 2014 in the Wine Society's Spanish offer.

This delicate Catalan drink is made from two thirds Garnacha Blanca and one third Macabeo by Coca i Fito, a brand created by brothers Toni and Miquel Coca, who grew up among grapes on a Catalunyan farm.

Likewise floral, it is crisp with a nice minerality and an appetising juiciness counteracting the dryness.

Also coming in at 13.5 per cent and priced £8.50, it's another nice tipple to have at home on the sofa with the radiators on while you wait for the high rivers to subside and your waterproofs to dry out.
