Crew-cut and businesslike (he's also a legal academic and runs a sizeable property portfolio) René Rostaing has made Côte Rôtie (elite northern Rhône Syrah plus a little Viognier) of stark purity at his brutally stylish Ampuis cellar since 1971. He was fortunate in inheriting many small plots, some containing century-old vines.

Impeccably organic, an impressive alliance of lush, cassis-rich Cabernet and gamey, generous Syrah. Domaine Richeaume lies at the foot of Provence's Sainte-Victoire mountain. The winery itself was built on the vestiges of a Roman Villa by organic vigneron Henning Hoesch. All viticulture at the estate is biodynamic, to the extent that a flock of sheep [...]

This is an impressive wine with plenty of power. On the nose there are strong aromas of black pepper, violets and plums. It has great structure, good tannins and well balanced acidity which all mark it out as a wine for ageing. However it can definitely be enjoyed now and makes a great partner to [...]

From a cool Green Valley site, the deep ruby/purple-tinged 2006 Syrah Kobler Family Vineyard exhibits hints of lard, blackberries, asphalt, and smoke, medium to full body, sweet tannin, and a spicy finish. Drink it over the next 5-7 years.' Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate, 91 points

This is a cool climate Syrah, grown high up in the Sonoma Valley, influenced by the cool marine air blowing in from the Pacific. These growing conditions produce wines more in line with the Northern Rhône style than Aussie Shiraz. Displaying the wild gamey side of Syrah rather than generous, jammy fruit. It will reward [...]

Deep ruby red with purple hints and a complex and refined nose of red berry fruits married with notes of wood and spice - notably freshly ground black pepper. The palate boasts a nice balance of flavours with blackcurrant and redcurrant combined with spices and a hint of game and coffee. A beautiful structure with [...]

Deep violet in colour with almost black hues, the nose is focused with intense ripe blueberry and plum intermingled with subtle leather, vanilla and tobacco notes. A complex and fruit driven palate, the finish is long and lingering with soft, round tannins providing wonderful harmony. This wine would make a great match with pasta, beef [...]

Alexandra Marnier-Lapostolle, the dynamic young French founder of this innovative Chilean winery, produces wines of spectacular quality. Made by Michel Rolland, this deep purple wine is powerful and intense, with a savoury meatiness that opens up to blueberries, blackcurrants and spices. Toasted nuts and hints of oak linger on the finish.

Richly fruited and distinctly varietal, this Syrah unfurls to reveal the delicately floral fragrance of violets, black olive and the spice of freshly ground black pepper. A subtle sweetness of toasty French oak and ripe yet tight tannins means this fleshy, concentrated wine will broaden into a smoothly textured, complex Syrah.

A medium-bodied, fruity Rhône-inspired red. Grenache is blended with Syrah and the resulting wine offers up-front fruit, with good balance and length. The absence of oak-influence only serves to enhance the dominance of the fruity aromas and flavours.

Out of all the wines produced in Australia, Shiraz may be the most famous. It’s the wine that gave Australia the recognition it has today.
