Mazuelo

About this grape variety

Mazuelo is the Rioja name for Carignan (Cariñena in the rest of Spain), a traditional blending grape that contributes deep colour, high tannin and bright natural acidity. Heat-loving, late-ripening and prone to disease, it needs old vines and dry climates to shine — and produces some of southern France's and Spain's most exciting wines from such sites in Priorat, Montsant and Roussillon.
