Little-known or almost extinct varieties are making a comeback as vintners adjust to changing weather.

Last year you probably tasted your way through any number of well-known wine grape varieties, whether cabernet sauvignon, chardonnay, pinot noir or sauvignon blanc.

Take counoise, one of the 13 varieties permitted in Châteauneuf-du-Pape blends in France’s Rhône Valley. Growers abandoned it because the grapes only mature late in a growing season, so in cooler years they didn’t fully ripen. They’re also susceptible to diseases including grey rot. Haas bottles 100% versions of 20 different varieties, which are all sold out. He said counoise, picpoul, grenache blanc and vaccarèse are the most likely to be great on their own. Grenache blanc has already been a success story, becoming the second-most planted white Rhône grape in California, after viognier, used in the blend for Tablas Creek’s excellent Cotes de Tablas Blanc.

“It’s a tough, late-ripening variety, drought-resistant,” Smith said. “The perfect grape for climate change.”Snapped upMencía also appeals to wine lovers looking for something new. The first vintage of Smith’s purple-fruited, floral-scented red — in 2018 — was snapped up by the winery’s club in 48 hours. Now he’s mulling over the ancient Italian grape timorasso.
