Syrah is a dark-skinned grape variety that produces full-bodied red wines known for their complexity and aging potential. Originally from the Rhône Valley in France, it has become one of the world's most important wine grapes, cultivated extensively in Australia, South Africa, and California.
Flavors & Aromas
Dark berries, black pepper, licorice, smoke, leather, and spice with hints of violet and herbs depending on climate and terroir
Winemaking & Aging
High tannins and acidity make Syrah well-suited for aging, often improving over 10-20 years in bottle. Cooler climates produce more peppery, elegant wines, while warmer regions yield riper, fruit-forward styles with higher alcohol content. Responds well to oak aging and blending with other Rhône varieties.
