Duras (grape)

Duras is a traditional French variety of red wine grape that is mostly grown around the river Tarn, northeast of Toulouse. It is usually blended with other traditional varieties, but production has been declining in recent years.

Despite the name the grape appears to have no connection with the Côtes de Duras east of Bordeaux, and is not grown there today. Nor is there any known link with the Durasa of Piedmont.
