Purchase the Best Syrah at DrinkUpNY!

Syrah and Shiraz are technically the same grape, but it produces widely varied styles throughout the world. Syrah originally hails from France, specifically the northern Rhone, where earthy notes of leather and herbs are typically more prominent than the fruit. However, in warmer wine regions, the grape typically produces vibrant, more fruit forward wines. Syrah thrives in Australia, where it is known as Shiraz, and has become one of the country's most important grapes. Australian Shiraz usually offers bright notes of raspberry, blackberry and plum with peppery spice on the finish. Both styles are incredibly food friendly, and will pair well with a wide range of dishes including beef, pork and pasta.
