Duras is a dark-skinned grape variety native to southwestern France, particularly the Gaillac region. It is traditionally used as a blending grape to add structure and color to regional wines, though it is increasingly vinified as a standalone variety.
Flavors & Aromas
Black cherry, plum, licorice, and spice with herbal undertones and moderate tannins
Winemaking & Aging
Medium-bodied wines with good color extraction and aging potential of 5-10 years. The grape produces wines with firm tannins and good acidity, making it suitable for both short-term drinking and extended cellaring in favorable vintages.
