Hailing from the hills surrounding the village of Cariñena, Carignan is one of the iconic grapes of Spain, indelibly associated with the cellars of Priorat in southwestern Catalonia.
Revered for its bold and expressive character, Carignan remains a rarity in the South African winelands, and is seldom bottled on its own. But at Hazendal, we believe that, when given the opportunity to truly show itself as a single varietal, Carignan shines brightly as a wine of voluptuous power and elegance; a wine that is a true embodiment of the spirit and vigour of its Spanish roots.
That Iberian passion is echoed in the bold packaging of this remarkable collector’s wine. Inspired by the sensuous flowing lines of a flamenco dancer’s dress, as well as the topography of the landscape that shaped these exceptional vines, the Hazendal Limited Release Carignan 2017 is our homage to this proudly Spanish cultivar.
