Answer From Expert Roger Bohmrich MW
In fact, both grapes orginate in France.
Petite Sirah as Durif is also French in origin. Durif - to make the story even more complicated - calls Peloursin and Syrah its parents.
Syrah was derived from Mondeuse Blanche and Dureza which are found, like Durif, in southeastern France.
