Syrah vs Shiraz – What’s the Difference? 🤔

Though genetically the same grape, Syrah and Shiraz are stylistically different:

• Shiraz (Aussie style) – Typically grown in warmer regions like Barossa or McLaren Vale. Expect rich, ripe, fruit-forward wines with bold structure and sometimes high alcohol.

• Syrah (French or cool climate Aussie style) – More restrained, savoury and peppery. Emphasises spice, florals and elegant structure over sheer power.

This Redshed Syrah leans into the latter – a refined, food-friendly and aromatic expression of Shiraz that showcases just how versatile the grape can be.

FAQ ❓

Is Syrah the same grape as Shiraz?
Yes – it’s the same grape, but the name “Syrah” usually refers to a cooler-climate or more elegant style of winemaking, inspired by the Rhône Valley in France.

What makes this Syrah different from a Barossa Shiraz?
It’s all about climate. Margaret River’s cooler sites deliver brighter acidity, floral aromatics and savoury spice instead of just bold, ripe fruit.

Who is this wine for?
If you love Shiraz but are looking for something more refined, complex, or European in style – this is the wine for you.
