Syrah / Shiraz

Bold, Spicy and Intense

Here is an international black grape variety that has made its home in both the Old World and the New and thrives in moderate to hot climates. Often referred to as ‘Syrah’ when produced in the traditional Old World Rhône style and ‘Shiraz’ indicating a richer and more fruit-forward Ozzie style; but this rule of thumb has its exceptions. A black grape that makes hearty medium/full bodied reds, displaying fresh black fruit and a signature cracked black pepper spice. Riper styles meanwhile are often smoother, with very ripe and even cooked black fruit aromas and flavours (blackberry, black cherry, black plum), liquorice and black olive tapenade complexity.
