About the grape variety

An artificial cross between Chasselas and Chardonnay obtained in 1965 at the Agroscope research centre in Pully (Switzerland), Doral was made with the aim of creating a more aromatic and sugar-rich grape variety than Chasselas.

Features

Doral wines are fresh and more full-bodied than the wines of its parent Chasselas, while having the acidity of the other parent Chardonnay. The sugar content of the berries is high, and the aromas are citrus and apricot.
