Petite Sirah Fine Wine
Petite Sirah Fine Wine
Don’t let the name fool you—there’s nothing “petite” about Petite Sirah. Known for its deep colour, gripping tannins, and bold flavours of blackberry, plum, and dark chocolate, this grape (also known as Durif) delivers powerful, full-bodied reds with serious structure. Often grown in California and Australia, it’s a wine that commands attention, whether bottled solo or adding backbone to blends. Big, brooding, and built to last.
