Doral is a relatively new grape and is a cross between Chasselas and Chardonnay created to provide a more ecologically robust and more aromatic version of Chasselas.
It has half succeeded - it's a loverly variety but it's not like Chasselas. It's a richer, more exotic variety.
Doral is said to have inherited the freshness of Chasselas and the aromas of Chardonnay, such as apricots and citrus fruit. Nice mineral sides too.
It is only grown in Switzerland, mainly in the region of Vaud but also in Valais and a little in Ticino.
