This variety is grown over a surface area of only 1,814 hectares, which makes up 3,5% of the D.O.Ca. Rioja. Worldwide, 220,000 hectares are cultivated, 207,000 of which are in France. Its French origin is internationally accepted under the name of Carignan Noir.
It bears more fruit than the previously mentioned varieties and it is extremely prone to powdery mildew. Mazuelo requires greater heat summation than the other varieties. In cool areas it does not ripen properly. It gives musts with a lot of colour and acidity, harsh and lacking in aroma. Its wines are rich in tannins and rough on the palate.
