Details
Syrah originated in the Rhône Valley, France, where it produces medium bodied red wines with beautiful fruit profiles. It was around 1830 when it reached Australia, and the Aussies originally used Syrah for fortified wines, but they soon discovered its potential. The name Shiraz then followed when the uniqueness of Aussie Syrah was truly realised.
