. . . . "Counoise is a dark-skinned wine grape grown primarily in the Rh\u00F4ne valley region of France. Counoise is also grown in California. Counoise adds a peppery note and good acidity to a blended red wine, but does not have much depth of colour or tannin. There were 638 hectares (1,580 acres) of Counoise in France in 2000.Counoise is one of the grapes allowed into the blend of Ch\u00E2teauneuf-du-Pape wine. In 2004 only 0.5% of the appellation's area was planted with Counoise."@en . "Counoise"@en . . .
