Arrouya noir is a red wine grape variety that is grown in the Pyrenees region of France. It is also known by the synonyms Arruya and Arhuya.

History

The origins of Arrouya noir are not well documented, but it is believed to have originated in the Pyrenees region of France. The grape is rarely found outside this region, and is not widely grown even within its native area.

Viticulture

Arrouya noir is a late-ripening grape variety that requires a long growing season to fully mature. It is resistant to many common grape diseases, but is susceptible to powdery mildew. The grape produces small, thick-skinned berries that are high in tannins.

Wine production

Arrouya noir is used to produce red wines that are typically medium-bodied and high in tannins. The wines have a deep red color and aromas of red fruit and spices. They are often aged in oak barrels to soften the tannins and add complexity to the wine.

Food pairing

Arrouya noir wines pair well with a variety of foods, including red meat, game, and strong cheeses. They are also often enjoyed on their own, without food.
