SHIRAZ, also known as Syrah, is one of the varieties of red wine that can be sighted in wine shops in the country. It is delicious red wine, made from dark-skinned grape and comes with spicy flavours of blackcurrant and black pepper.
Though the origin of Shiraz is traceable to France, it has come to be associated more with Australia where it has been taken to a high level of popularity and produced under different labels such as Penfolds, Wolfblass and Wyndham Estate.
The climates under which the grapes used in the production is grown, the soil, country of production and even the methods of production of the various brands account for the different tastes and aroma noticeable from one Shiraz to another. It means that each producer’s personal Shiraz has its own personality and qualities to enjoy.
Being robust in flavour, a glass of Shiraz is a great accompaniment for meat dishes. Shiraz wines do well with hearty foods like beef. Their spicy notes also make them great choices for spicy foods, like Mexican or Cajun. Outside pairing with some other food, many wine lovers like to drink a Shiraz alone because of its deep, fruity flavour.
