Carignan

This is another postphylloxera Spanish import, suited to poor soils such as schist, and resistant to the strong winds of the South. Dark and generously alcoholic, it is generally vinified by maceration carbonique, a technique which maximises fruit flavours. It’s usually blended, although some growers make a varietal wine from it. Carignan is making a comeback.

Domaine des Soulanes - Sarrat del Mas / 2007 / Red
£ 14.95
This wine is aged in French oak barriques and displays delicious spicy dark fruit and smooth tannins. Like all the wines of Domaine Soulanes the wine has not been filtered or fined and can develop a deposit so decanting is recommended. Being a dense and very concentrated wine it would be the perfect match to meat dishes such as boeuf en daube or boeuf bourgignon. Learn More
