Syrah is a dark-skinned grape variety known for producing full-bodied red wines with deep color and intense, spicy flavors.

Originating in the Rhône Valley in France, it is now grown worldwide, especially in Australia (where it’s called Shiraz), Spain, South Africa, and California. Syrah wines typically offer aromas of blackberry, black pepper, violet, and sometimes smoky or spicy notes. They are rich, structured, and age beautifully, making Syrah one of the most admired grapes for premium red wines.

Syrah is a bold, spicy, and full-bodied wine, so it pairs beautifully with flavorful dishes.
