Serve at the Right Temperature: Pour Syrah-Shiraz slightly below room temperature to highlight dark Australian fruit while balancing peppery, spicy notes in French Syrah styles.
Use the Proper Wine Glass: Choose a large bordeaux or Syrah glass for optimal aeration, a standard red wine glass for everyday drinking, or a universal glass for casual pours.
Let It Breathe Before Drinking: Let Syrah-Shiraz breathe 30–45 minutes to soften robust tannins and develop layered flavors.
Sip and Savor the Boldness: Take small sips to taste blackberry and black pepper, appreciate full body and firm tannins, and enjoy Syrah-Shiraz’s powerful, age-worthy spice and regional expression.
