Shiraz also known as syrah and hermitage. The flavours contained in the dark skin rise in tandem with sugars in the pulp and often shiraz can be picked with excellent sugar - acid balances and intense colour and flavour.The conditons in Australia are capable of producing high quality shiraz.Shiraz the full dark, dark, rich and fruity wine has a natural low tannin softness and combines perfectly with american Oak during maturation to provide one of Australia's richest and most enjoyable wine styles.That is why in the early days of Australian wine making, shiraz was often called 'burgundy' as it was soft, round and mellow, reminiscent to the new settlers of the supple wines of Bourgogne (Burgundy) France.
