Cinsault
|
|
Cinsault is a very old grape
variety grown in the south of France.
It prefers well drained soil on sunny hillsides and can withstand
very hot environments. Cinsault is an aggressive grower and
produces a large crop of large sweet berries.
The Cinsault grape makes fairly simple wines that are used for blending
with other grapes such as Grenache.
Cinsault is one of the parent grapes (along with Pinot
Noir) for the Pinotage
variety which was developed in South Africa. |
