RARE GRAPE VARIETAL RESOURCE

Widespread

Carignan blanc is a white mutation of the Carignan grape found primarily in the Roussillon region.

According to Master of Wine Jancis Robinson, Carignan blanc tends to produce full-bodied white wines that can have high acid and alcohol levels with very little aromatics. While the wines tend to be "shy" in the nose, Robinson notes that the palate can be "luscious" with light, citrus notes.
