Cinsault

Cinsault Grape

 

Cinsault

Cinsault (or Cinsaut) is one of the oldest south of France variety. Even nowadays it is impossible to determinate its origins, between Provence and Languedoc.

The Cinsault is a hill-side grape-variety. It is the reason for which it is always associated to other varieties: Carignan, Grenache, Mourvèdre, Syrah.

Cinsault produces large grains, very sweet and juicy.

Although not well known, this variety contributes to the production of excellent wines such as Saint-Georges d'Orques (Languedoc).
