You say shiraz, McWilliam’s says syrah (for its new McW Reserve 660 Syrah from Canberra!). A true expression of the rich diversity and elegance of high-altitude wines, the McW 660 range features grapes that are harvested from vines grown at an average of 660 metres above sea level in particularly cool climates, such as Canberra, Hilltops and Tumbarumba. So, what’s the difference between shiraz and syrah? There’s no physiological difference with the grape variety — syrah is simply shiraz’s French name. Some Australian winemakers are choosing to make wines in the style of French syrah, which is lighter and leaner than the usual richer, riper and more full-bodied expressions Australians are used to drinking.
