"La Carinyena dóna bon cos als vins, i també una astringència i color elevat. Això fa que, sumat a la bona graduació alcohòlica, sigui una varietat molt adient per als cupatges. "

adequate, suitable


Explanation:
I think that "adient" (in English) was one of my GRE words....I might be wrong though so I would use one of the above.
Is adient used in this context in English as well? Or it just refers to psycology?....

Have a nice Sunday evening.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Yes, you are right, "adient" is an English word, meaning "tending to move toward a stimulus". So, the options you mention are possibilities.
