Syrah is a well-known red grape from France, responsible for some incredibly diverse wines. In places like South Africa and Australia, it is better known as Shiraz, offering richer, fuller, and spicier notes than the traditional Syrah styles.
Typically, Shiraz is spicy, robust, and has complex red berry notes, making it an ideal wine with several meals.
Some of the best foods to pair with Syrah include barbequed meats like marinated pork ribs and steak. They work just as well with leg of lamb, veal, and venison.
Here is a great marinated pork rib recipe that is well worth trying alongside a quality Shiraz. Fortunately, we have a promotion on our Shiraz, so you can try this outstanding pairing.
