Kosher Shiraz: Fond Flavor and Surprise

Shiraz is another name for Syrah wine. The name was first popularized in Australia, where Shiraz is a famous wine known for its rich flavors. Winemakers in the new world tend to experiment with Shiraz, including turning it into a surprisingly full-bodied sparkling wine. 

Shiraz is known for a wide range of notes and flavors, high tannins, and a full body. The complex nature of this wine means it offers a unique experience with every vintage and rewards those who patiently age it to develop exceptional notes and tastes. Those who want to explore complex wine flavors will appreciate the experience of drinking Shiraz.

The History of Shiraz Wines

Make sure to distinguish modern Shiraz wine from the romantic, historical wine once near the city of Shiraz in what is now Iran. This historical wine had the reputation of being the best in the world. However, it, unfortunately, has no connection to modern Shiraz wines. Instead, Shiraz is a wine made from Syrah grapes. It is the same as Syrah wine.

As Syrah became a popular European wine, James Busby learned of it and brought clippings to Australia, where it quickly began to be called Shiraz. Now, when a Syrah is labeled “Shiraz” it may either be purely naming convention, as is common in Australia and South Africa, or the winemaker may have chosen the name Shiraz to emphasize that the wine is more fruity and peppery, while less tannic, than a traditional Syrah.

The Italians developed the most popular version of Mosacato, Mascato d’Atsi, as early as the fourteenth century. It is semi-sparkling and has earth-like aromas that are musky and unusual in sweet wines.

Flavor Profile

A Shiraz may achieve any flavor range possible with the Syrah grape. Usually, this means intense tannins, a dry taste, and a high body that feels heavy in the mouth, while other characteristics are more moderate. However, those wines labeled Shiraz are more likely to be peppery instead of smokey and of lower alcohol content than high-end Syrahs. No specific flavor may be “typical” in these diversely flavored wines.

Also, it is common to find black fruits, such as blackberries, pepper, coffee, or other earthy notes. With aging, these notes can be even more complex and may include leather and truffle.

Food Pairings for Shiraz

When you pour out a deep red glass of Shiraz, you’ll immediately want to pair it with lamb, and you should follow your instincts. Shiraz is fit for lamb and high-fat meats, which will help make the wine’s tannin smoother.

Aging Recommendations

Aging Shiraz can bring out the best in the wine, but not all Shiraz will be improved with age. Look for wineries with track records of making Shiraz wines that age well. Warmer climates, moderate alcohol levels, darker color, and a higher price point are all signs that your Shiraz is worthy of sitting in the cellar. Or, consider purchasing Syrah instead. You can get a similar experience from a Syrah; several are also fit for aging.
