Shiraz and Syrah are names for the same grape. It is most definitely NOT the same as Petit Sirah, which is grown mostly in California.
The Shiraz/Syrah grape is called Syrah in the US, France and other countries. In Australia it is called Shiraz, where it is considered the finest red wine grown there. It is certainly the most widely planted red grape in Australia.
The Shiraz grape was once thought to have originated in Persia, but recent research indicates the grape is a native of the Rhone valley, in France. It is best known for its usage in Hermitage, in the Rhone valley. The grape creates a heavy red wine that has recently fallen out of favour with many wine lovers.
Shiraz is known for its spicy blackberry, plum, and peppery flavors. Often there are additional notes of licorice, bitter chocolate and mocha. Shiraz is even affected by growing temperature - warmer climates bring out the mellower flavors of plum, while cooler temperatures spice up the wine.

Shiraz goes very well with beef and other hearty foods. It also goes well with Indian, Mexican, and other spicy foods. |
