Discover the grape variety: Oeillade noire
Probably originating in the Languedoc, oeillade Noire is known by other names such as olhada, aragnan noir, ulhat, hulliade or croque. This variety should not be confused with Cinsault, which is highly productive, producing up to 5kg per vine, and is particularly noted for its drooping habit and vigour. The black eye is a late bloomer. Oidium, mildew and grey rot are its main enemies. It requires a rather short pruning, coulure and millerandage could harm its development and the grapes it would bear. It prefers a good exposure and reaches maturity around the second half of August. Its bunches are of medium size and its fruits have a great resemblance to those of the Cinsault. They have been eaten fresh at the table for a long time. The wine produced from this variety is quite alcoholic and has a colour similar to that of a cherry. The variety is no longer multiplied and seems to be on the way out.
