Deeply coloured, structured reds with a deep ruby robe, smooth tannins and preserved acidity under warm conditions, with aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, plum, spice and blackcurrant-leaf herbal notes. Round palate, fruity finish. Productive and heat-tolerant, it produces high-volume reds in California (Central Valley), South Africa, Australia, Argentina, Mexico and Israel. Californian variety created in 1936 by Harold Olmo at UC Davis (Cabernet Sauvignon × Carignan).
DO in southern Tenerife (Canary Islands), vineyards among the highest in Spain (up to 1,700 m at Vilaflor) on black volcanic "jable" sands, dry sunny climate, traditional gobelet training. Listán Blanco flagship white: dry and tense with citrus, green apple, white flowers and saline volcanic mineral touch, acidity preserved by altitude. Gual textured, Verdello lively and Malvasía floral in whites. Listán Negro (cherry, smoke) and supple Negramoll in light reds.
