Shiraz

Shiraz is the Australian name for the native French grape Syrah. Grown under the hot Australian sun, Shiraz offers a more fruit-forward flavour than its earthy French counterpart. Winemakers in other regions may also label their red as a Shiraz if they feel as though its flavours and style fall more in line with the jammy Australian red.

Flavour

Australian Shiraz is known for its rich and ripe fruit-forward flavours of plumb, cherry, blueberry and blackberry complemented by subtle notes of peppercorn, liquorice, tobacco and chocolate. On the finish, expect to find hints of mocha, vanilla, mint, olive, clove and oak. Shiraz reds are full bodied and full flavoured with firm, silky tannins that carry the flavours through to a long finish.

Best Pairings

The depth and richness of Shiraz can stand up to many flavour pairings. Try with braised beef, pulled pork, spare ribs and strong, hard cheeses like Manchego, cheddar and parmesan. Shiraz is also a fantastic match for charred and sweet-roasted vegetables.
