About Shiraz
Shiraz
also known as Syrah, is a red wine grape variety that is grown in wine regions around the world. It is one of the most popular red wine grapes, and it is used to make a wide variety of wines, from light and fruity to full-bodied and complex.
Shiraz grapes are typically black with thick skin. They are relatively high in sugar and tannins, which gives the wines they produce a full-bodied mouthfeel and a high alcohol content. Shiraz wines are also known for their intense aromas and flavors, which can include blackberry, plum, spice, and leather.
The flavor profile of a Shiraz wine can vary depending on several factors, including the climate and soil where the grapes are grown, the winemaking techniques used, and the age of the wine. Shiraz wines from warmer climates, such as Australia, tend to be more full-bodied and fruity, while those from cooler climates, such as France, tend to be lighter and more elegant. Price’s Wines are produced from premium grapes grown in quality soil in South Australia’s McLaren Vale.
Shiraz wines can be enjoyed on their own or paired with food. They are a good match for rich, savory dishes, such as grilled meats, stews, and pasta dishes.
