Description:
Syrah (aka Shiraz, but not Petite Sirah) is conveniently productive, disease-resistant, late budding and early ripening. It produces dark skinned and flavorful fruit. The vine is easy to grow, but requires a well drained low-fertility soil, even then, it requires a divided canopy to spread out its shoots. It does not put a lot of energy into laterals unless constrained to too small a space, so once the canopy is opened, it stays open. It raisins about 10% before harvest, which concentrates the flavor and skin color. However, it can lose aroma and acidity if left on the vine for too long, it is therefore not recommended for port styles of wine. Wine color is an intense inky purple. Tannins are significant but soft. Therefore the wine ages well but also can be bottled for early consumption.
