Discover Exceptional Shiraz & Syrah Wine
Syrah and Shiraz are two names for one of the world's most celebrated red grape varieties — bold, complex, and endlessly versatile. Whether labelled as syrah shiraz wine from the Old World or as Shiraz from Australia, this dark-skinned grape produces wines of extraordinary depth, ripe fruit, and distinctive character.
What Makes Syrah Grape Wine So Special?
The syrah grape is small and thick-skinned, yielding wines with intense colour, firm tannins, and a signature black pepper spice. Aromas range from dark berries and plum to smoked meat, olive, and floral violet notes — with the style shifting dramatically depending on where it is grown and how it is made.
- Côte Rôtie & Northern Rhône (France): Elegant, mineral-driven expressions of classic French syrah — silky in texture with savoury, perfumed complexity.
- Southern Rhône & Rhône Valley blends: Syrah plays a key supporting role, adding structure and spice to blends with Grenache and Mourvèdre.
- Barossa Valley & McLaren Vale (Australia): Full-bodied, plush, and powerful — Australian Shiraz delivers ripe blackberry, dark chocolate, and warming spice.
- South Africa & Washington State: Emerging styles that showcase syrah and shiraz's remarkable global adaptability.
Syrah and Shiraz — What's the Difference?
"Syrah and shiraz" refers to the same grape, but the name signals a stylistic intention. Old World producers in France typically use "Syrah" for a more restrained, savoury style. New World producers — particularly in Australia — use "Shiraz" for richer, fruit-forward wines. Both can be extraordinary; the style you prefer is simply a matter of taste.
