More informations about the variety Durif
Powerful, deeply coloured reds with an inky, near-black robe, firm tannins and dense palate. Intense aromas of blackberry, plum, blackcurrant, black pepper, chocolate, spices and balsamic notes. Fine ageing potential. Near-extinct in France, it became a star as Petite Sirah in California (Napa, Lodi, Paso Robles) and is emblematic of Rutherglen, Australia. French variety created in 1880 by François Durif in the Isère (spontaneous cross of Syrah × Peloursin).
