It is believed that Syrah has been planted in France since the Roman times, and produces some of the most sought after wines from the Old World. Syrah is dominant in the Northern Rhone regions of Côte-Rôtie, St. Joseph, Hermitage and Cornas – though you may recognize it by its’ Australian name, Shiraz. Syrah is able to grow in both cool and warm climates, though each result in very different styles of wine.

Syrah is able to grow in both cool and warm climates, though each results in very different styles of wine. Because of the versatility of this grape, you will find it in nearly every growing region on the West Coast. It is difficult to get Syrah ripe in cooler climates – but it can be done, and the resulting wines are wonderful!
Syrah can display flavors of black pepper, dried herbs, plums and blackberries. The spiciness of this wine can stand up wonderfully to spicy food – a typically difficult task for red wine. Try with tandoori, curry or duck.
