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 les Aurelles - Solen / 2004 / Red

Clot de L'Oum - Saint Bart Vieilles Vignes / 2008 / Red
£ 21.25
A blend of one third each Syrah on schist, with their best parcelles of Grenache on granite and schist, and Carignan on gneiss, on a vineyard parcelle of Saint Barthélémy which gives the cuvée its name. The Carignan, especially, is outstanding in this blend. This is the most “Mediterranean” of the three wines, more “sauvage”, as he puts it, ideal for Mediterranean food, with powerful ripe fruit, spicy and gamey. Learn More
