Ekigaïna

The red grape variety is a new variety between Tannat x Cabernet Sauvignon. The Basque name means "month of sunshine". The cross was made in 1956 on behalf of INRA by the Basque Pierre Marcel Durquéty (1923-2016) in France with the support of the University of Montpellier. The same parents also gave rise to the Arinarnoa variety.

Ekigaïna - Traube, Trieb und Blatt

Characteristics

This early to medium-ripening, rather low-yielding vine is generally resistant to disease. It produces colourful, rather low-acid red wines with a balanced structure.
