FAQs
Q1: What does Shiraz wine taste like?
- Shiraz is known for its bold and rich flavour profile. You can expect notes of dark fruits like blackberry and plum, along with black pepper, spice, and sometimes a touch of smoky oak. Depending on where it’s made, Shiraz can taste fruity and smooth or more earthy and savoury.
Q2: What’s the difference between Shiraz and Syrah?
- Shiraz and Syrah come from the same grape variety, but the name often reflects the style. "Syrah" is used in Old World regions like France and tends to be more elegant and restrained. "Shiraz," especially in Australia, refers to a bolder, fruitier, and more full-bodied style.
Q3: What food pairs well with Shiraz?
- Shiraz pairs well with grilled meats, barbecue, smoked sausages, and hearty dishes like beef stew or lamb chops. Its bold flavours also go nicely with aged cheeses and roasted vegetables. The wine’s spice and structure make it a perfect match for flavourful meals.
Q4: Should Shiraz be served chilled?
- Shiraz is best served slightly below room temperature around 16–18°C. You don’t need to fully chill it, but putting it in the fridge for 15–20 minutes before serving can help enhance its flavours and smooth out the alcohol.
Q5: Is Shiraz a dry wine?
- Yes, Shiraz is typically a dry red wine, meaning it contains very little residual sugar. Its rich, fruity flavour may taste sweet to some, but it’s technically dry and structured with bold tannins.
Q6: How long can I age a bottle of Shiraz?
- Many Shiraz wines especially from regions like Barossa Valley or the Northern Rhône can age beautifully for 5 to 15 years or more. Aging allows the bold fruit to soften and the complex spice and earthy notes to deepen over time.
Q7: Where can I buy quality Shiraz wine in Singapore?
- You can explore a curated range of premium Shiraz wines at Vintage Fine Wines. All bottles are cold-chain delivered across Singapore and selected from top family-owned wineries around the world.
