Syrah to the French, but Shiraz (shi-RAZ) to us in Australia. No matter what you call it, Shiraz is one of the darkest and heaviest red wines on the market. Shiraz wines are bold, packed with flavour and full bodied. Think peppers, berries, currants, and even chocolate. Great with BBQ’ed meats.
What is Shiraz and why is it Australia's favourite?
If you’re asking what shiraz is, it is the powerhouse of the wine world. Known elsewhere as Syrah, shiraz red wine flourished in local soil to become our national icon. It’s a bold, medium-to-full-bodied drop famous for its deep purple hue and intense flavours of dark berries, pepper, and spice. At BWS, we stock a massive range of Australian shiraz from the world-famous Barossa Valley to the cool-climate elegance of the Canberra District.
How much should I expect to pay for a good bottle?
The shiraz wine price can range from an everyday-value option to a several-hundred-dollar investment piece. BWS is committed to providing the best shiraz Australia has to offer at every price point.
