Supple, fruity reds with a deep robe and melted tannins, featuring aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, plum, violet, soft spices and garrigue notes. Good consistency and short-to-medium ageing capacity. Made in blends and as a single variety in Languedoc-Roussillon (IGP Pays d'Oc) and exported massively to China where it has become an emblematic quality signature. Also in Brazil and Argentina. A Cabernet Sauvignon × Grenache cross created in 1961 by Paul Truel in Montpellier.
High-altitude IG of northern Argentina (Calchaquí valleys, vineyards among the world's highest at 1,700–3,000 m). Torrontés leads in aromatic whites of grapefruit, orange blossom, apricot, lychee and fresh-floral notes. Malbec delivers deep, solar reds of blackberry, black cherry, violet, spice and firm altitude tannins, ripe tannins and generous alcohol. Cabernet Sauvignon, Tannat and Merlot complete the range.
