Shiraz

Shiraz is a red wine grape variety known worldwide for its bold, full-bodied wines. The grape originates from the Rhône region of France, where it is known as Syrah . The term "Shiraz" is used primarily outside of France, particularly in Australia and South Africa, to describe wines made from this grape variety.

The original Syrah from France , particularly from regions like the northern Rhône, has a long tradition and an outstanding reputation. Compared to Shiraz wines from other parts of the world, French Syrah wines are often more elegant, with pronounced aromas of dark berries, pepper, and floral notes. Syrah wines from France are also characterized by their finesse, structure, and longevity. The climatic conditions and soils of the French growing regions give the wines a unique terroir character that is evident in every sip. The Syrah grape proves to be extremely versatile and can shine both as a single varietal and in cuvées.
