Kosher Syrah: Deep, Full-Fruited Red

Intense tannins, deep red color, and dark fruit are the hallmarks of a good Syrah. This red wine is made for those who want to explore all the depth and breadth of flavor that wine can provide. Fruit-forward Syrahs are surprisingly complex, while more sophisticated bottlings have impressive notes that become more peppery, leathery, and earthy with age. Shiraz wine is the same as Syrah.

Both are made from the same grape, although there may be regional differences that help distinguish the wines. Wines labeled Syrah tend to be more complicated and aged and will work wonders with any high-fat dinner you'd like to indulge in.

The History of Syrah Wines

Although the origins of the Syrah grape were once clouded in mystery, genetic testing has revealed that the parent grapes of the Syrah are both lesser-known grapes from the northern Rhône in France, meaning that Syrah is also from this area. The grape has likely been cultivated since 77 AD and has long been valued as a blending wine. It adds high tannins and intense color to other wines.

Syrah has become popular globally, especially in Australia, where it is often called Shiraz, and in California. It succeeds in these warm climates and withstands drought well. A warm climate allows the Syrah to develop its typical characters and allows winemakers to attempt to replicate the northern Rhône style of Syrah, which is peppery and laden with dark fruit flavors. Syrah grown in colder climates is more likely to be called shiraz.

Flavor Profile

Syrah tastes of savory or dark fruit such as blackberry, blackcurrant, and blueberry. It has a high body, high tannins, medium acidity, and a variable sweetness. This flavor profile is an excellent foundation that is quite often improved with aging.

You can achieve licorice, sweet tobacco, tanned leather, and a wide variety of smoky scents with an aged Syrah. However, there are lighter, fruit-forward Syrahs that you can choose if you would like a lower tannin and lower acidity wine. These wines are still often more complex than fruit-forward versions of other varietals.

Food Pairings for Syrah

When pairing Syrah, the most crucial element is to choose a dish as intense in flavor as this wine. Strong options include red meat, game birds, and goat, all of which should have a high-fat content to work with the intensity of this wine. Earthy mushrooms, heavy pasta, and lentils bring balance to this wine's full body. Lighter, sweeter Syrahs are better complimented by strongly flavored cheese. Only some Syrahs would work with seafood or light vegetables, so avoid pairing your wine with these.

Aging Recommendations

Aging Syrah should be a right of passage for anyone interested in exploring deep, complex wine flavors. Most Syrah is aged between five and nine years, and some worthy wines might be kept in your cellar for up to 25 years.
