About the Domaine De L'Ecu Trinity 2019 750ml
Cinsault – Grenache blends are made up of two important grape varieties from southern France, and are vinified as either red or rosé wines. The two varieties have much in common; both Grenache and Cinsault are lighter bodied than other Rhône varieties, have strong resistance to droughts, and perform best when overcropping is avoided.
Grenache is of particular importance in the south of France. It is the predominant variety in the prestigious wines of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, and is used in myriad appellations all along the Mediterranean coast. Cinsault is also permitted in many appellations, but its main function is as a blending variety – while Grenache has sufficient character to be made into a wine on its own, Cinsault rarely does.
As such, most Grenache – Cinsault blends have much more of the former, adding structure to the wines. Grenache is herbaceous and spicy, with plenty of berryfruit flavors, and in particular raspberry. It has ample tannins and, usually, reasonably high alcohol, particularly as it is often grown in hot environments.
Cinsault, on the other hand, lacks structure, color and tannin, and is usually employed to give an aromatic lift to the wine, or to help pad out a wine in smaller vintages, as it is a high-yielding variety. The two varieties are commonly joined by Syrah, making a Cinsault – Grenache – Syrah blend.
Grenache – Cinsault blends are permitted in a wide range of appellations in southern France, from Châteauneuf-du-Pape to the simple IGP wines of the area. Perhaps the blend's most important expression is in the fresh, fruit-driven rosé wines of the Côtes de Provence appellation in southeastern France.
