Carignane is an old-world variety originally from Spain that worked its
way into southern France, where it has become one of the most important
varietals grown in the Languedoc-Roussillon region, alongside Syrah,
Grenache and Mourvedre. Mendocino County is the largest producer of
Carignane in the premium wine growing regions of California, with the
majority of the vineyards being old-vine.
