Étraire de L’Auduï is an ancient, rarely-planted variety found around the upper Rhône valley and the Savoie. Related to Persan (how’s that for name dropping!), either as a parent or child, it belongs to the larger Syrah pedigree of grape varieties. Étraire de l’Aduï is an unmistakable alpine red grape variety showing both its relationship to Syrah and Teroldego with its brambly red and blackberry fruit flavors but with an altogether lighter and more deft tannic footprint.
