A [[grape]] used to make a popular style of red [[wine]], either on its own or blended with others. It is known as "syrah" in French, though some argue the grapes have diverged sufficiently to be considered separate varieties. It is [[Australia]]'s most popular red grape, and is grown in many wine-growing regions around the world.

Wines made from shiraz are quite powerfully flavoured, with a distinctive "spicy" finish. With time in the bottle these flavours are moderated, and indeed many premium shiraz-based wines are at their best after some considerable time aged in a cellar.
