Structured, aromatic dry whites with an ample palate and moderate acidity, showing aromas of citrus (lemon, grapefruit), white flowers (acacia), pear, green apple, light honey and fresh almond notes. Fine ageing potential. Essential component of Cava DO sparkling (with xarel·lo and parellada), pillar of Rioja DOCa whites (as viura) and Roussillon AOC whites. Autochthonous Aragonese variety, aromatic signature of the great Iberian whites.
Largest AOC in Languedoc, 95% Mediterranean reds. Signature old-vine Carignan (up to 60%): fleshy reds with black fruit, garrigue, black olive, spice and tight tannins. Blended with round, sunny Grenache, peppery Syrah, dense Mourvèdre and supple Cinsault. A few fresh rosés and whites (Grenache Blanc, Roussanne).
