Petite Sirah, also known as Durif, is a rare and distinctive red grape variety that produces wines with deep concentration, firm tannins, and excellent aging potential. Despite its name, there’s nothing "petite" about this wine—it’s bold, rich, and packed with flavor.
Here’s how Petite Sirah expresses itself in different regions:
Petite Sirah in California, USA: California is the heartland of Petite Sirah production, with regions like Napa Valley, Sonoma, and Paso Robles producing some of the finest examples. These wines are known for their intense blackberry, plum, and black pepper notes, often complemented by hints of dark chocolate and espresso. They pair exceptionally well with barbecue, grilled steaks, and braised short ribs.
Petite Sirah in Australia: Though not as widely planted, Australian winemakers craft powerful Petite Sirah wines with bold fruit flavors, spice, and a touch of eucalyptus. These wines are excellent with smoked meats, lamb, and hearty stews.
Petite Sirah in France: Originally developed in France, Petite Sirah is now a rarity there, though it occasionally appears in Rhône-style blends. When found, these wines are more restrained, offering dark fruit flavors with a structured, old-world elegance. They pair well with charcuterie, roasted duck, and mushroom-based dishes.
Whether you’re seeking a deeply structured Petite Sirah from California or a more nuanced version from Australia or France, our collection offers a selection of incredible wines to explore. Find the perfect bottle to enjoy with your next meal or special occasion!
