Durif, more commonly known
as Petite Sirah, was first created in the 1880s by Francois Durif, a botanist
at the University of Montpelier.A
cross between Syrah and the French grape Peloursin, Durif originated in the
Isere region of southeastern France and was originally called Petite Sirah by
farmers due to the smallness of its berries when compared to Syrah grapes.
Our 2007 Durif has a strong tannin structure with rich and robust flavors. It is a dark and brooding wine that will pair well with food. Originally released only to the wine club this small production wine is no longer available.
