Syrah Food Pairings
Wondering what are the BEST Syrah food pairings?
I’ve got you covered with this handy guide!
First, a little bit about Syrah…
Syrah vs. Shiraz
The most basic difference between Syrah and Shiraz is where they’re from. Syrah is from France, and Shiraz is from Australia.
French Syrah wines coming from a more moderate climate like the Rhone Valley tend to be high in acidity and tannins, with a rich, peppery flavor.
Australian Shiraz comes from a hotter climate, and tends to be more fruity, round, and less tannic.
