Details and technical informations about Winery Cape Rock's Carignan.
Discover the grape variety: Raisaine
Simple, fresh dry whites with a pale golden robe, a supple palate and preserved acidity, with understated aromas of white flowers, citrus (lemon) and herbal notes. A rustic profile now almost absent from commercial viticulture. Preserved in INRAE varietal collections, it bears witness to the pre-phylloxera ampelographic diversity of the South-West. Rare French white grape, once grown in the South-West and studied for its heritage value.
