Len de l'El

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Len de l'El is a white wine grape native to South West France. Appellation d'origine contrôlée (AOC) regulation dictate that the white wines from Gaillac must include at least 15% Len de l'El blended with Mauzac, though there has been movements to allow substitution of Sauvignon blanc. The grape is prone to rot and has been declining in plantings in recent times. The wines made from the grape are typically full bodied with low acidity but powerful fruit notes.^[1]
