Planting time again here in Darling, and this year we will be planting Semillon, Grenache, Shiraz, Nouvelle and Carignan.
Carignan is a red cultivar hailing from Aragon, Spain. Carignan is a heavy bearing cultivar and grows in an upright position. It does well in dry areas and are very sensitive to rot, specifically Downy Mildew.
The grapes are mainly used as a blending component due to the intense colour and natural high acidity (with low yields). Wines made from Carignan show spicy notes and red fruit. At Darling Cellars Carignan is mainly used as a blending component to add variation, colour and spicy flavour to the wines.
