IS there a difference?
DNA profiling in 1999 found Syrah to be the offspring of two obscure grapes from southeastern France, Dureza and Mondeuse Blanche.
Syrah should not be confused with Petite Sirah, a synonym for Durif, a cross of Syrah with Peloursin dating from 1880.
and which is from France???Syrah is typicaly from California and Shiraz from Austrailia. Same grape just different parts of the world.
Syrahand which is from France???
Bartman said:Yes, I made a blend of Petite Sirah and Barbera (2/3 Barbera, 1/3 Petite Sirah, I think, it might have been the reverse) from fresh grapes in 2010. Very dark color, very rich, lots of tannin, plum is the prominent flavor, fruitiness is gradually fading as it ages, goes great with steaks and red meat if it breathes for about 1/2 hour or is decanted. Not too many kits of Petite Sirah are available, I believe, so are you looking for grapes or using a kit?
