Whether you call it Syrah or Shiraz you’d be right on grape varietal as they are one in the same. It is the winemaker’s persuasion, climate and vinification processes that ultimately dictate the style between the two. You should buy Syrah / Shiraz online as it thrives worldwide. Syrah speaks of old-world elegance and Shiraz tends more to the new-world richness of warmer climates. Youthful styles offer floral notes of violet nuanced with black berry fruits, plums and a herbaceous twist. Often with a pepper, warm spice and woodsmoke character. With age they develop leathery, chocolate and tobacco layers of complexity.
