Shiraz and Syrah are alternate names for the same (in DNA terms) dark-skinned grape variety which originated in the Rhône and dominates plantings in the valley's northern section. The Shiraz name is used in Australia and selected pockets of the New World, usually with warmer climates. Stylistic differences are usually pronounced and explain the enduring dual identities.
Syrah
Syrah has proved successful in multiple viticultural areas around the world; wines are produced in many styles and display myriad of dark-fruit flavors. Varietal Syrah can be quite floral in its youth, developing white and black pepper aromas and herbaceous notes as it ages. Some examples show tanned leather and smoky scents, while the fruit in these wines tends towards the very dark flavors of blackcurrant and licorice.
Old World styles of Syrah are generally produced in a more earthy and savory style in comparison to the New World where fruit-forward notes are more common.
The most searched-for Syrah on Wine-Searcher is Domaine Jean-Louis Chave Hermitage.
Best food pairings
Australian Shiraz pairs best with foods that are robust and flavorful. Grilled red meats, game birds, cured meats and goat-based stew all work well with the medium to high tannins of Shiraz. The rich fruit allows the wines to handle chargrilled food quite well, though there is usually plenty of tannin lurking in higher-priced Australian reds which may surface. Ideal vegetarian options include Eggplant Lasagna, Lentil Bolognese and Falafel or Mushroom-based Burgers.
