Information

Syrah (Shiraz) is a red wine from Chile, particularly known from the Elqui Valley region. It has a deep garnet color and a bold, spicy taste. This wine features aromas of dark berries, black cherries, and a hint of pepper. On the palate, it is full-bodied with firm tannins and flavors of ripe fruit, black pepper, and a long, smoky finish. Syrah pairs wonderfully with red meats, game, and hearty stews. Its bold, complex character makes it ideal for both casual and formal meals.

Fun facts

Chile’s natural geographic barriers—the Andes, the Pacific Ocean, and the Atacama Desert—create a pest-free environment, allowing for sustainable and organic Syrah production with minimal intervention.
