Shiraz makes for spicy up to soft red wine
Depending on the cultivation area, the Shiraz grape makes for different wine.

Shiraz is very different from the French Syrah even though it is the same grape variety. Australian or South African red wine from the grape is sweet, ripe and leaves a soft taste of chocolate on the tongue. Syrah as well as Shiraz make for a fragrant and full-bodied wine. Shiraz is considered to be one of the most noble grape varieties from which now and then majestically appearing wine can be produced. Wine lovers can store it in the cellar for a long time, as a Shiraz respectively Syrah has a great development potential and matures further for decades.

Despite these little weaknesses, Shiraz/Syrah is considered to be one of the most resistant grape varieties; this is why winemakers cultivate it widely. Not for nothing it is one of the widest spread grape varieties worldwide. Quality and yield ratio are optimal for wine growers and lovers alike.
