Carignan is very productive, why is it not well known?

Carignan belongs to the Eurasian grape variety, and it has many different names, such as Carrie Niang, Carignan, French Red, Combaina, and Wine. Native to Carignan in Aragon , northern Spain . It has a long history of cultivation in Spain and has been cultivated in France, Italy, the United States, Chile and other countries. It is one of the ancient winemaking varieties in Western Europe. China introduced it from France to Yantai, Shandong in 1892 , and the main planting areas are distributed in Shandong, Hebei, Henan and other regions.

In the New World wine countries, Carignan grapes are usually grown in warmer regions such as California, Mexico, Chile, Argentina, Australia and South Africa.

Carignane grapes have moderate sugar content and coarse tannins, usually related to the age of the vine, growing conditions and soil . In fact, in poor and fertile conditions, in good terroirs, with mature vines and limited yields, the wines obtained can be powerful and rich. It can be cultivated in most parts of North China, the old course of the Yellow River, and the central part of Northwest China.

The wine produced by Carignan has a ruby red color, pure taste and refreshing aroma. It should be blended with other grape varieties for blending. It can be made into white or pink wine after peeling off the skin. It is easy to cultivate and has a high yield. It can be used as Wine blending and brandy making.

Yuncang Winery's brand LEESON red wine shared that in those years, the governments of France and other countries strongly supported the cultivation and brewing of Carignan. However, the result of not controlling it is that a large number of cheap and low-quality Carignan wines are produced, which leads to her not being famous for Carignan and thinking that Carignan cannot produce good wine.

Fortunately, a small number of producers used old vines to produce elegant, balanced, complex and full-bodied wines, which made Carignan what it is today, and gradually accepted and liked by people.
