Full Shiraz Wines
Shiraz (known as Syrah in many other countries) is a dark-skinned grape that’s grown throughout the world to produce powerfully flavoured, full-bodied red wines.
First introduced to Australia in 1832 by a European immigrant who brought vine clippings when he arrived, Shiraz is now the most-grown varietal in the country. It wasn’t always appreciated the way it is now, though. It’s hard to believe, but in the 70s, white wine was so popular that growers were ripping out unprofitable Shiraz and Grenache vineyards, even those with very old vines.
Thankfully, that all turned around and Australia produces an incredible amount of Shiraz wine with a wide range of flavour notes that depend on the region it was grown in. The biggest Australian Shiraz-growing regions are the Baros ...
