Buy Shiraz Red Wine Online

Known as Syrah in cooler regions of the Old World, Shiraz is a venerable jewel of a red wine that makes darker meats and exotic spices dazzle. Yet self-assured Shiraz is equally content with casual barbecue fare as it is with more sophisticated fare like braised red meats and game. Its unforgettable garnet to ruby hues bring the promise of ripe tannins and dark berries with a dry pucker.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the typical flavour profiles of Shiraz?

Shiraz is known for its robustness, with “jammy” aromas, ripe tannins, and darker fruits such as blackberry, blueberry, and plum — often enhanced with earthy, spicy, and herbaceous flavours like black pepper, smoke, and chocolate.

Which regions are famous for Shiraz?

Shiraz is synonymous with fine Australian winemaking, as our country’s best wine export. It is Australia’s most widely planted grape, found in a number of regions:

• Barossa Valley — one of the world's best-known regions for Shiraz
• Clare Valley — more known as Riesling region but also great for Shiraz
• Eden Valley — higher altitude area of Barossa region, harvested up to two weeks after Barossa Valley
• Heathcote — ancient, 5 million-year-old Cambrian soil
• Hunter Valley — the oldest wine-producing area in Australia
• McLaren Vale — classic Mediterranean climate

South Africa also has the perfect climate for growing Shiraz. In the cooler climes, known as Syrah wine, the Rhone Valley and parts of the Western United States are noteworthy producers.

How does Shiraz differ by region?

In warmer climes — especially in Australia — Shiraz boasts an alluring blend of blue and black fruit, black pepper, and spice that makes for an intense, rich, full-bodied taste. In cooler regions, such as the Old World, Shiraz is more medium-bodied with a bolder presence of spice.

How should I serve and store Shiraz?

Shiraz shines when served slightly cooler than room temperature, having spent around 15 minutes in the refrigerator. The wine should be kept in a cold, dark environment between 13-15 degrees Celsius to help the wine age and gain complexity gently.

What foods pair well with Shiraz?

Shiraz is surprisingly versatile, pairing well with red and game meat — roasted, grilled, or braised — and savoury burgers, making it ideal for fancy dinners and casual get-togethers alike.
