Fogoneu

Origin

Majorca, Balearic Islands (Spain)

Also known as

Fogoneu Francès

Fogoneu is a discreet but traditional red grape variety from the Balearic Islands, notably used for its lightening qualities in assembly. Very lightly coloured, not very tannic and moderately acidic, it produces light, supple and unstructured wines, but pleasantly fruity.
