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.
Eastern region shared between Turkey, Greece and Bulgaria, a fascinating native palette.

More tannic, structured Boğazkere, local Papazkarası. Fresh Narince whites (citrus, flowers, almond), lively Emir.
