Red wine grape · Vitis vinifera
A red wine grape of Spanish origin, probably Aragon, long grown around the Mediterranean and recorded by UC Davis as Carignane.
Plantgrape describes Carignan as of Spanish origin, probably from the Aragon region, and officially designated Mazuela in Spain. UC Davis FPS independently lists Spain as its country of origin, Carignane (Carignan) as its TTB-approved name, and Mazuela and Cariñena as common synonyms.
Plantgrape describes a fertile variety with steady, often substantial production that is well adapted to hot, dry areas with fairly poor soils such as shale, appears well adapted to windy areas, and is sometimes susceptible to potassium deficiency. These are attributed descriptions, not irrigation, fertilizer or site prescriptions.
Plantgrape describes Carignan as relatively unaffected by grey rot and very little susceptible to phomopsis, but highly susceptible to powdery mildew on leaves and bunches and sensitive to vine leafhoppers. These are reference observations, not treatment advice.
