Shiraz, known as Syrah in Spain, thrives in regions like the warm, sun-drenched landscapes of Castilla-La Mancha and the cooler, mountainous terrain of the Sierra de Gredos. These wines often exhibit bold flavors of dark fruit, black pepper, and smoky undertones, shaped by Spain's diverse climates and rich terroir. Historically, the grape’s origins trace back to the Rhône Valley, but it has flourished in Spain since the 19th century, blending its heritage with bold Spanish character.
