Discover the best wines made with Syrah as a single variety or as a blend of Danubian Plains.
Structured, elegant reds with deep colour, firm tannins, with intense aromas of blackberry, blackcurrant, black pepper, violet, smoked meat, black olive and balsamic notes. Fine ageing potential. Star of the great northern Rhône reds (Côte-Rôtie, Hermitage, Cornas, Saint-Joseph) and pillar of GSM blends in the south (Châteauneuf-du-Pape). Widely exported to Australia as Shiraz (Barossa, McLaren Vale). Cross of dureza × mondeuse blanche.
One of two Bulgarian IGPs (between the Danube, Balkans and Black Sea), ~30% of national production. Temperate continental climate, fertile chernozem soils. Gamza (Kadarka) the red signature: deep and lightly spiced with wild red and black fruits, plum, walnut, vanilla and a peppery touch, melted tannins — a balanced everyday wine. Light Pamid, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot as complements.
