Carignan

Carignan is a red grape variety known for its deep colour, high acidity, and robust tannins. Originally from Spain and widely planted in southern France, it thrives in warm climates, making it a promising variety for Australian winemakers. Australian Carignan wines typically showcase bold flavours of dark berries, plum, and spice, often with earthy and savoury undertones. Its natural acidity and firm structure make it well-suited for both blending and single-varietal expressions, offering a fresh and complex wine with excellent ageing potential.
