Cinsault is a red wine grape variety that originated in the Languedoc region of France. It is known for its light body, low tannins, and fruity flavors, often featuring notes of cherry, raspberry, and plum. Cinsault is commonly used in blends, particularly in the Rhone Valley and Provence, but it can also be made into single-varietal wines. This grape thrives in warm climates and is resistant to drought, making it suitable for various growing conditions. Cinsault is often associated with the production of rosé wines, especially in Southern France, where it contributes to the wine's freshness and aromatic profile.
