Wine Grape Syrah (Shiraz)

Wine Grape Syrah (Shiraz)
Majestic red grape that grows old even for half a century, is found both in the wines of Hermitage and Côte-Rôtie and Crozes-Hermitage, France (Syrah), such as in the production of Penfolds Grange, Australia (Shiraz).
Growing well in many areas, produces wines complex and distinct, dark, ranging from the relatively tannic very tannic and alcoholic aromas and flavors of spices.
In the south of France is used in various cuts, as in Châteauneuf-du-Pape and Languedoc-Roussillon.
In Australia was used for a long time for cuts trivial, but there was a significant increase in the production of high quality wines, especially from old vines in the Barossa Valley.
In the United States, the Syrah is experiencing an increase in quality, which gives it the appeal of early Pinot Noir and Zinfandel and some of the eccentricities of Merlot, and may also prove easier to be grown and vinified than other paints , except for Cabernet Sauvignon.
Aromas and flavors: spices (black pepper, black kingdom), ripe dark fruit (black raspberry, blackcurrant, blackberry), licorice, leather, hunting and tar beyond "empireumáticos" (toasted and smoked). Besides these, are mentioned aromas of ginger and chocolate, floral notes (violet), and in some regions of Australia, a touch of understated mint.
