Argaman (Hebrew: ארגמן) is an Israeli wine grape. It is a crossing of Souzão and Carignan.The intention was to produce a variety of wine grape with good rich color which had been a problem in Israeli wine. Roi Spiegel of the Volcani Institute of Agricultural Research and Shlomo Cohen of the Israeli Wine Institute created the Argaman (lit. crimson) with this purpose in mind. After hundreds of attempts and micro-vinifications successful wines were produced from it.
