Originating from two different climate styles, winemakers with a leaner, more acidic profile tend to call their drops syrah, while shiraz is notably from warmer climates like South Australia’s Barossa Valley or Adelaide Hills. However, both are known for their fruity appeal and bold palate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"yrm-content yrm-content-2 yrm-hide\" id=\"yrm-HJ7yW\" data-id=\"2\" data-show-status=\"true\" data-after-action=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"yrm-inner-content-yrm-HJ7yW\" class=\"yrm-inner-content-wrapper yrm-cntent-2\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting notes of shiraz\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShiraz is known for its depth, complexity and structure.

In general, it goes best with rich, fatty meat and strong spices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs shiraz sweet or dry?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe term “sweet” refers to wines that have low acid levels and high alcohol content. Dry wines contain higher amounts of acids than sweeter ones. The sweetness comes from residual sugars left over after fermentation. These sugars come from grapes’ natural sweetness, added during processing, or from other sources such as honey, molasses, maple syrup, etc. Some people prefer sweeter wines because they think they taste better, but this is subjective and a personal preference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShiraz is typically dry, mostly because it doesn’t have residual sugar added to it like many other varieties of red wines.
