Discover the best wines made with Marselan as a single variety or as a blend of Terra Alta.
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.
Southernmost DO of Catalonia south of Tarragona, world kingdom of white Grenache (33% of the planet's white Grenache, 75% of Spain's). Broad, sun-soaked whites with signature notes of ripe pear, yellow peach, white flowers, fennel, anise and a toasted hazelnut touch, a round and warm palate — powerful and high in alcohol. Dense reds of Garnacha Tinta (blackberry, black cherry, garrigue) and Carinena (licorice, spice). Dry, sunny climate, clay-limestone terraced soils.
