Caladoc varietal refers to a red wine grape variety that is a hybrid of Grenache and Malbec, originally developed in France in 1958. Wines produced from Caladoc grapes are typically rich and full-bodied, with flavors of ripe black fruits like blackberry and blueberry, often with spicy, peppery undertones. They are known for their good tannin structure and deep, vibrant color. As a relatively new variety, Caladoc is not very widespread, but it is increasingly being cultivated in regions like France's southern Rhône Valley, Provence, and the Languedoc, as well as in Portugal and Spain.
