--------THE GRAPE--------

Syrah

Both Syrah or Shiraz is the name given to this grape varietal depending on where you are in the world. In France, particularly in the Rhone Valley, it goes by the name of Syrah and it makes the floral reds of Hermitage, Cornas, St Joseph and Cote Rôtie. Whereas in Australia, particularly in the Barossa Valley, it is Shiraz and it produces bolder, spicier and oaky red wines. It is planted across the world in the warmest of regions and it is usually dependant on how the winemaker produces as to what it's name will be either in the prettier female style or the bulkier masculine style.
