About This Wine

Popular Wines Made From Shiraz Varietal Grapes:

  • Syrah
  • Hermitage
  • Scyras

These wines have a large amount of mouth-drying tannins, and it is known to be full-bodied, which means it feels heavy in your mouth; the wine features flavors such as berries, pepper, tobacco, and even smoked meat.

Syrah and Shiraz are the exact same wine. When Syrah (Sih-Rah) arrived in Australia from its birthplace in France, Australian winemakers took to calling it Shiraz (Shi – RAZ), instead of the grape’s original name, Syrah. We like to chalk this renaming up to the Australian accent and their penchant for making many common words more fun to say, like how they call a barbecue a barbie.

Taste: Aromas of black and red fruits with flavors of blackberry, blackcurrant, redcurrant and raspberry. Has a spicy, black pepper, character and as it ages develops smoky aromas, with notes of liquorice, cloves, leather, coffee, caramel, vanilla and dark chocolate.

Tannin: High

Acidity: Medium to high

Age: Drink simple wines in the first few years, better wines need up to five years and the best required ten years to fully open up.

Grape juice concentrate (preserved with sulphur dioxide), liquid invert sugar, tartaric acid, malic acid, citric acid, tanin, ascorbic acid. Additives (included in Wine Kit) Packet A: Bentonite, Packet B: Potassium Metabisulphite, Packet C: Potassium Sorbate, Packet D: Clearing Agent (kieselsol/chitosane), Packet of Yeast.

Shiraz Heavy Body Kit

So far so good. Great looking kit with everything you need. It is in its final stage of fermentation. I am anxious to get it cleared and let it set a bit before trying. I have been very pleased with the medium body kits and look forward to enjoying this heavy body kit.

Satisfied customer

The Shiraz kit arrived in a timely manner and was safely packaged, easy to use and everything that will be needed to make a fine wine. Still too early to comment about the product. I have learned that this grape needs to mature as a wine for 18 months to really bring out its unique characteristics. I will rave about the great customer support though! I have received over the years. I had a issue with placing this order and promptly and timely its was resolved to my satisfaction. Thanks WineLover Online support team. Dave
