Shiraz — known as Syrah in France and many other parts of the world — is one of the most widely planted and versatile red grape varieties, producing wines that range from peppery and elegant to bold, rich, and full-bodied. In the Northern Rhône Valley, Syrah produces structured, savoury wines with notes of black pepper, violets, and dark fruit. In Australia, where the grape is called Shiraz, warmer climates produce riper, more powerful wines with flavours of blackberry, plum, chocolate, and spice. Our Shiraz/Syrah collection spans both styles, offering everything from elegant, cool-climate expressions to big, bold, sun-soaked Australian classics. Whatever your preference, Shiraz delivers generous fruit, satisfying depth, and a touch of spice that makes it endlessly food-friendly. Shiraz is a natural partner for hearty, flavourful dishes: think barbecued and grilled meats, slow-cooked stews, game, and dishes with a peppery or spiced edge. Its bold character also stands up well to rich sauces and aged cheeses. Browse our collection to find your next favourite bottle.
