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.
