Syrah, also known as Shiraz, is a dark-skinned grape variety grown throughout the world and used primarily to produce red wine. It is one of the most popular grape varieties in terms of global plantation.
The Syrah varietal produces a bold, full-bodied, and complex wine. These wines typically have medium to high levels of tannins which give them a hearty structure and the ability to age well. The flavors you might find in Syrah wines often include dark fruits such as plums, blackberries, and blueberries, along with earthy and spicy notes of black pepper, mint, and cocoa.
The taste and characteristics of Syrah wine can vary greatly depending on the climate and soil where the grapes are grown. In warmer climates, like Australia and California, Syrah tends to produce wines with more fruit-forward flavors, a smoother tannin structure, and higher alcohol content. On the other hand, in cooler climates, such as Northern Rhône Valley in France, Syrah wines typically have more floral and spice notes, along with higher acidity and tannin levels.
