Aramon

Mostly grown in Languedoc Aramon's heyday was the latter half of the 19th Century. It was in great demand as cheap table wine and has the advantage of powery mildew resistance and prolific growth rate. It's so light in colour it was often blended with tienturier varieties such as Alicante Bouschet. It's popularity began to decline when French colonies in northern Africa started producing fuller, heavier reds in the 20th Century.

Climate Suitability

Its redeeming features are its mildew and aphid resistance
