Southern French Carignan Revival

Elizabeth Gabay · Taste · Wines and Spirits of Provence

Contributor blog post by Liz Gabay:

Hiding away in southern French blends, Carignan is often unnoticed by wine drinkers. However, an enthusiastic trend amongst a few growers in southern France, Spain, Chile, California and Israel to produce this variety in all its glory, has captured my imagination. The more I taste this variety,the more I enjoy it …Continue reading here for Liz Gabay’s (Master of Wine) detail on the popularity of this old grape varietal, which produces high yields and loves long hot summers and and warm fall weather for the best examples of this grape.

Elizabeth Gabay

I first started coming to Provence regularly in the mid-1980s when, with my family, we invested in a small cottage in the central Var. I started to specialise in the wines of the area, selling them in the UK – way before Provencal rosé became fashionable. A 10 year pause in the 1990s while I worked at the Master of Wine degree, got married and had my two children before we decided to make a move to France full time. Based to the north of the wine region of Bellet and Nice since 2002, I write about the wines of south east France and Liguria (as well as other countries). I particularly enjoy the cultural and historical background to wine and some of the more obscure facts.
