Discover the grape variety: Barras
Simple and fruity light reds with a clear ruby robe, soft tannins and an airy palate with moderate acidity, showing undemonstrative aromas of red fruits. Now almost extinct from commercial cultivation, preserved in INRAE ampelographic collections, it bears witness to the varietal diversity of the pre-phylloxera South-West vineyard. Rare French black grape, once cultivated in the South-West.
