Syrah or Shiraz is a dark-skinned grape grown throughout the world and used primarily to produce powerful red wines.<\/p>\n

Whether sold as Syrah or Shiraz, these wines enjoy great popularity.<\/p>\n

Syrah is used as a varietal and is also blended. Following several years of strong planting, Syrah was estimated in 2004 to be the world’s 7th most grown grape at 142,600 hectares (352,000 acres).<\/p>\n

Nowdays is the 6th largest grown grape.<\/p>\n

DNA profiling in 1999 found Syrah to be the offspring of two obscure grapes from southeastern France, Dureza – father and Mondeuse Blanche- mother.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It seems that many of the legends of Syrah’s origins come from one of its many synonyms – Shiraz. Since there also is a city in Iran called Shiraz, where the famous Shirazi wine was produced,<\/p>\n

some legends have claimed that the Syrah grape originated in Shiraz, and was brought to Rh\u00f4ne, which would make Syrah a local French synonym and Shiraz the proper name of the variety.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Syrah is a small, dark skinned berry that grows in small bunches. If you look closely, the grape takes on a shape that resembles an egg. The grape produces naturally high, but not too high, acidity and tannins.<\/p>\n
