Light, simple fruity reds with a pale, lightly coloured ruby, soft tannins and an airy palate with moderate acidity, undemonstrative red fruit aromas. Rustic, discreet profile. Almost extinct, preserved in INRAE varietal collections for its heritage value, testament to the pre-phylloxera ampelographic diversity of the South-West and studied among heritage varieties. Rare French black variety, once grown in the South-West.

Old vines of Garnacha (roundness) and Cariñena (Samsó, structure). Exceptional ageing.
