The grape

Syrah

Best known in Northern Rhône, Washington State

A dark, spicy red grape. Blackberry, black pepper, smoked meat and violets, with firm structure. Elegant and savoury in the Northern Rhône, in places like Hermitage and Côte-Rôtie; in Australia the same grape goes by Shiraz.

Where it's from

Beechworth

Australia

A small, high-altitude region in north-east Victoria with an outsized reputation. Granite soils and cool nights produce taut, complex Chardonnay and elegant Shiraz from a handful of serious, quality-obsessed growers. Tiny production means bottles can be hard to find. Worth it when you do.
