Shiraz (grape)
Shiraz grapes have a characteristicly deep purple color that is reflected in their wine.Shiraz or Syrah is a variety of grape used in wine. The names are interchangeable. It is called Syrah in France, and most often in the United States, South Africa, Australia, and Canada it is known as Shiraz. In Australia it used to be called Hermitage up to the late 1980s. It should not be confused with Petite Sirah, a synonym for Durif, which is a different type of grape. Its name stems from Shiraz―the city of flowers, wine and poetry in Iran―in the heart of an ancient winemaking region. The grape also has many other synonyms that are used in various parts of the world including Antourenein Noir, Balsamina, Candive, Entournerein, Hignin Noir, Marsanne Noir, Schiras, Sirac, Syra, Syrac, Serine, and Sereine.[1]
Naming
Winemakers (or wine marketers) sometimes choose one name over the other to signify a stylistic difference in the wine they have made. "Syrah" labelled wines are sometimes thought to be more similar to Old World examples (presumably more elegant or restrained) such as Northern Rh?ne reds. "Shiraz" labelled wines are more similar to New World examples (presumably riper and fruitier), but even this rule of thumb is unevenly applied.[2]
Origin
The name of the grape Shiraz was taken from that of the city of Shiraz in Iran, near where the process of wine making possibly originated 7000 years ago.[3] Historic accounts state that the Syrah/Shiraz was brought into southern France by a returning crusader, Guy De'Sterimberg. He became a hermit and developed a vineyard on a steep hill where he lived in the Rh?ne River Valley. It became known as the Hermitage. In 1998, a study conducted at the University of California, Davis concluded that the grape variety in its modern cultivated form originated in the vicinity of the Northern Rh?ne valley of France, as the result of a cross of the "Dureza" and "Mondeuse Blanche" grape varieties;[4] and in 2001, using DNA analysis, this was proven to be the case.

Shiraz is a type of grape.
Shiraz is the Australian spelling, the grape originate from the northern part of the Rhone Valley in France (not Iran as proved by recent DNA tests...) Where it is called Syrah (or Petite Syrah). When used in wine you usually obtain a full bodied wine, that is peppery with some blackcurrant flavors... I like it a lot!!
A medium bodied or full bodied red wine that has a taste description of spice and black pepper.Any shiraz wine from austrailia is a great selection.The name of the shiraz grape came from austrailia and the grape name syrah came from france so both are the same grape.I have not heard of a city with that name.
Shiraz is a kind of grape from Australia, just like the "french" syrah.
Fully bodied and a little spicy. I love shiraz. Greg Norman is a good brand.
Shiraz is also called Syrah.
This is a hearty red wine noted for its complexity of aromas and flavors including raspberry, plum, smoke, and white pepper. It is a dark red wine, sometimes almost black in color.
Food and Wine Pairing:This type of wine is wonderful eaten with duck, wild game, steak, and beef.
Origin:Syrah is one of many types of wine that is believed to originate from France. There are great Syrahs produced in France, Australia, South Africa, and California.
shiraz is the name of a style of red wine. not very spectacular. in a red wine i would suggest a sangiovese.
