Carignan: a blue grape planted generously in southern France, North Africa and California. The grape produces quite powerful wines that are fruity in their young years. Nowhere does this grape give finer wines than in Roussillon. Carignan originates from Spain, where it is called cariñena after the town of the same name where the grape originally comes from. Carignan wines are usually dark coloured and coarse in character. They contain relatively high levels of tannin and acidity. Thanks to modern methods of vinification such as macération carbonique the wines become fuller, softer and fruitier.
