Supple, perfumed reds with a deep ruby robe, smooth tannins and a round palate, with intense, characteristic aromas of violet, red fruit (raspberry, blackcurrant), liquorice, soft spice and peppery notes. Gourmand finish; best young or short ageing. The near-exclusive star of Fronton AOC north of Toulouse (minimum 50% in blends), also made as expressive rosés. Autochthonous South-West French variety, possibly brought from Cyprus by the Knights Hospitaller.

Ull de Llebre (Tempranillo) reds round with notes of ripe cherry and leather, solar Garnatxa, dense Carinyena. Tradition of sweet Tarragona Clàssic.
