Shiraz
Shiraz
Shiraz is the name used for the Syrah grape in Australia, and is typically stylistically different from wines labelled Syrah from cooler regions. Deep, dark flavours of blackberry and blackcurrant, alongside notes of eucalyptus, chocolate and black pepper define Australian Shiraz, and the style has found great success in export markets for its powerful, direct nature. More recently the not-so-subtle ‘Barossa’ style has given way to wines made in a more elegant, complex fashion.
