Shiraz, also known as Syrah, is a dark-skinned grape variety grown throughout the world and used primarily to produce red wine. It is one of the most widely planted grape varieties, especially in Australia and France.
The Shiraz varietal tends to produce full-bodied wines that are rich in flavor. The wine often has an intense dark fruit flavor, like blackberry and plum, intermingled with notes of pepper, chocolate, and even tobacco. Depending on the region where it is grown and the production process, Shiraz can present varying flavor profiles, from fresh and fruity, to savoury and spicy.
Age-worthy with robust tannins, the Shiraz wines are usually best enjoyed with food, particularly hearty dishes like stews and grills. They are also known to age well, developing complex flavor profiles over time.
In France, where it is known as Syrah, the grape is commonly used in Rhône blends. In Australia, where it is popularly known as Shiraz, it is often produced as a single varietal, showcasing the unique characteristics of the grape. The Barossa Valley in Australia is particularly renowned for its Shiraz production.
