Shiraz/Syrah, one grape, two names, yields bold red wines. Originating in France's Rhone Valley as Syrah, it's known as Shiraz in Australia and beyond. These wines boast deep color, robust body, and intense dark fruit flavors, often accented by notes of pepper and smoke. In France, Syrah shines in structured Northern Rhone wines and blends from the Southern Rhone. Meanwhile, Australian Shiraz is celebrated for its ripe fruit and full-bodied style. Regardless of origin, Shiraz/Syrah offers versatility, from elegant and peppery to rich and opulent, reflecting its terroir and winemaking.
