Shiraz is Australia’s calling card - planted in 60 of its 65 regions and accounting for almost 25% of total production, it is one of Australia’s most established and best-loved grapes. It is also one of the oldest varieties in Australia, first planted in the country in the early 1800s, and remains home to the oldest producing Shiraz vines in the world (planted in 1843 in the Barossa Valley). While this iconic Australian stalwart is one of the country’s biggest exports and an international success, there is no one style of Shiraz. In fact, styles are continually evolving and diversifying through changes in viticulture, winemaking, and a focus on regional expression.
In this webinar, Emma Symington MW leads you through some of Australia’s key Shiraz regions, from the traditional to the new wave, discussing their individual climates and topographies, as well as the differing styles of Shiraz they make.
