Discover the grape variety: Ekigaïna
Deeply coloured and structured reds with a deep ruby robe, firm to powerful tannins and a dense palate, with signature aromas of black fruits (blackberry, blackcurrant), plum, spices and balsamic notes. Fine ageing potential as a tannic red. Grown mainly in the South-West for IGPs, it offers excellent potential for red wines with ageing ability. French black grape obtained in 1956 by crossing Tannat × Cabernet Sauvignon, like Arinarnoa.
