Petit Syrah, also known as Durif, is a red wine grape variety that originated in France in the late 19th century. It was created by crossing the Syrah grape with the Peloursin grape. The name "Petit Syrah" translates to "little Syrah" in French, referring to the similarity in flavour and characteristics to the Syrah grape.
In terms of taste profile, Petit Syrah wines are known for their bold and intense flavours. They are full-bodied with rich dark fruit flavours such as blackberry, black cherry, and plum. The wines often exhibit notes of chocolate, spice, and black pepper, along with firm tannins that give them a robust structure.
The best areas to produce Petit Syrah wines are typically regions with a warm climate, such as California in the United States and the Barossa Valley in Australia. Additionally, regions like Rhône Valley in France and Mendoza in Argentina have also shown great success in producing exceptional Petit Syrah wines.
