Syrah is a dark-skinned variety of grape used in wine.
Syrah is grown in many countries and is primarily used to produce
powerful red wines, which enjoy great popularity in the marketplace,
relatively often under the synonym Shiraz. Syrah is used both for
varietal wines and in blended wines, where it can be both the major
and minor component. It is called Syrah in its country of origin,
France, as well as in the rest of Europe, Argentina, Chile, and most
of the United States. The name
Shiraz became
popular for this grape variety in Australia, where it has long been
established as the most grown dark-skinned variety. In Australia it
was also commonly called Hermitage up to the late 1980s, but since
that name is also a French Protected designation of origin, this
naming practice caused problem on some export markets and was dropped. |
The name Shiraz for this grape variety is also commonly
used in
South Africa,
Canada, and
New Zealand. DNA profiling in 1999
found Syrah to be the offspring of two obscure grape varieties from
southeastern France, Dureza and Mondeuse Blanche.
As of 2004, Syrah was estimated to be the world's 7th most grown
variety at 142,600 hectares (352,000 acres), after having enjoyed a
strong growth in plantings for several years.
The grape is also known under many other synonyms that are used in
various parts of the world including Antourenein Noir, Balsamina,
Candive, Entournerein, Hignin Noir, Marsanne Noir, Schiras, Sirac,
Syra, Syrac, Serine, and Sereine.
Syrah should not be confused with Petite Sirah, a synonym for Durif,
another grape variety which is a cross of Syrah with Peloursin dating
from 1880.
