SHIRAZ
RED WINE VARIETY WORLD WIDE IMPORTANCE

The Shiraz vine is resistent against many diseases and pest. This is why it has spread all over the world. Wine growers in Australia, Spain, Argentina, Switzerland and the USA like to plant the noble grape and do so with much success. Also Shiraz from South Africa is very common. According to a legend, crusaders took the vine from the Persian town Shiraz and brought it to Tain l´Hermitage. Scientists proved that Shiraz is a mixture out of the varieties Duerza and Mondeuse from the Rhône Valley.

What our Customers think

Shiraz – The Popular Grape Variety with Intense Flavor and Unique Character

Shiraz, also known as Syrah, is a fascinating grape variety that captivates wine lovers worldwide with its origin and versatility. The grape, a cross between Mondeuse Blanche and Dureza, originated in the traditional Rhône Valley in France. Here, in the heart of one of the world’s most famous wine regions, it is known as Syrah. In "New World" wine regions, including Australia and South Africa, the grape is referred to as Shiraz. This difference in naming symbolizes the distinct styles Shiraz wines can offer – from elegant and spicy to intense and fruit-driven.

Growing Regions and Characteristics of the Shiraz Grape

The Shiraz grape finds ideal growing conditions in many parts of the world. In France, particularly in the northern Rhône Valley, lie some of the most renowned growing areas for Syrah. Regions like Hermitage and Côte-Rôtie are known for their powerful and complex Syrah wines, shaped by a temperate climate. This climate allows the grapes to ripen slowly and develop intense aromas characteristic of the "Old World" style. In warmer climates, such as Australia and South Africa, Shiraz reveals a unique style of its own. South Africa offers ideal growing conditions for Shiraz, especially in regions like Stellenbosch and Paarl. These warm areas allow the grapes to ripen fully, resulting in wines with high alcohol content and intense, powerful aromas. Here, wine producers have specialized in cultivating both the classic Syrah style and the modern Shiraz style, making South Africa a significant Shiraz exporter.

Taste Profile and Aromas of Shiraz Wines

Shiraz wines offer an impressive spectrum of flavors and taste profiles that vary depending on the region of origin. In the "Old World," the Syrah style is often characterized by elegant and layered aromas. Notes of dark berries, violets, and black pepper are typical of this style, complemented by earthy nuances and a balanced acidity. These wines develop remarkable maturity and complexity over the years, which is greatly appreciated by wine enthusiasts. The Shiraz style of the "New World" is marked by more intense fruitiness and richness. Aromas of ripe cherries, plums, and blackberries dominate, often accompanied by chocolate and vanilla notes that come from barrel aging. This style is fuller, softer, and often slightly sweeter on the palate, making it particularly popular with those who enjoy robust and fruity wines.

Popular Shiraz Wines and Buying Recommendations

For those who are new to Shiraz or looking to expand their collection, there are numerous well-known Shiraz wines from Australia, South Africa, and France. In the Barossa Valley, some of the world's most famous Shiraz wines are produced, appreciated for their depth and fruity aromas. In South Africa, wineries such as Delaire GraffTokara, and Spier offer excellent Shiraz wines that reflect both the classic and modern styles. If you are planning to purchase Shiraz wines, you’ll find a wide selection in well-stocked wine shops or online stores. From affordable Shiraz wines to exclusive premium options, there is something for every taste and budget.
