Hope Estate Basalt Block Shiraz

Shiraz, known as Syrah in France, produces bold, full-bodied wines with rich flavors of dark fruits, black pepper, and chocolate. These wines often exhibit aromas of blackberry, plum, and licorice, with peppery and smoky notes. Common styles include fruity, refreshing rosés and complex, oak-aged reds. Notable regions include the Rhône Valley (France), Barossa Valley (Australia), and Stellenbosch (South Africa). Interestingly, Shiraz is the same grape as Syrah, differing primarily in climate and winemaking approach.
