Ournac Frères Petite Sirah

Petite Sirah is a cross between Syrah and Peloursin - a rare variety from the French Alps. There are only a few hectares left under cultivation in France.

Following a tasting of a Napa Valley Petite Sirah, Domaine Coudoulet planted their own vines in 2010 in the plots named Sautel and La Fontaine Fraiche of clay-limestone marls. These vines also serve as a mother root-stock when grafts are taken for other varietals.

Deep garnet/purple colour; a nose of ripe stewed fruits and soft garrigue notes. An impressive palate of mulberry and blackberry. Full bodied with a touch of pepper bringing a long smooth and rounded finish.
