French Carignan is a red wine grape variety primarily grown in the Languedoc-Roussillon region in southern France. Traditionally used as a blending grape, Carignan can also produce single-varietal wines that showcase high acidity and tannins, along with flavours of red and dark fruits like raspberry and plum, often accompanied by hints of spice and earth. Older vines, especially those grown on hillsides, can produce particularly concentrated and complex wines. If you enjoy robust, hearty red wines with a rustic edge, wines made from or featuring French Carignan could be a great choice for you.
