A historic region on the outskirts of Adelaide with a mild climate influenced by the sea. It is particularly admired for its Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Riesling, and Sémillon. Grenache and Shiraz are its best reds.


Syrah:

Originally grown in France’s Northern Rhône Valley (where it is a noble variety) this grape has spread to Australia, California, Washington, Italy and Spain. In the Rhone region this grape produces deeply colored wines with full body and firm tannin, however in Australia, where it is known as Shiraz, the wines are lighter and fruitier. Aromas and flavors for these wines vary as much as their geographical breadth suggests: berries, smoked meat, bell peppers, even tar.

Australian name for the grape known as Syrah in France.
