Love this one - thought you might have mentioned Grange as the standout version of Shiraz coming out of Australia as the most refined version .... (a little out of my price range) ... Would be fun to see you compare a 15 year old Grange, 15 year old French Syrah, and a 15 year old GSM to hear you talk through the similarities and differences. Cheers

I love that you shouted out Aussie sparkling Shiraz! It’s a horrible but equally fun cuvée, i implore anyone who has yet to try it to give it a go

Why don't you never cite south italy in your lectio? its climate is perfect for shiraz. I think italian wines doesn't receive the right attention

Thats really not how we pronounce syrah youre saying su-ra its pronounced Si-ra

Overrated on Vivino.... Primitivo hold my beer.😂

In Spain Syrah is mostly used for blending as far as I know. There are a couple of wines in the 10€-20€ range that I like quite a lot: Valtosca (DO Jumilla, from Bodegas Casa Castillo) and Zahirs (DO Campo de Borja, from Bodegas Borsao).

Grape vnes from Shiraz (Iran) were transplanted in Australia, hense, the name Shiraz. Syrah, same grape variety is from France.

Favorite Syrah is too tough as I am a big fan of the variety. One of the very memorable ones was a Mr. Riggs Piebald Syrah from the Adelaide Hills of Australia. It is most definitely a cool climate Syrah and not a Shiraz. This would be a tough one in a blind tasting as most people would recognize it as Syrah but would probably not be able to say where in the world it comes from as it is so obviously not from Barossa Valley or the McLaren Vale.

My favourite syrah is Côte Rotie

I pronounce it Si - Rah. Not Sü - Rah. Cheers from la Suisse.

Keep on spreading the knowledge of wine as you have been doing so far. Keep my fingers crossed for you! Thank you.

Thank you for your videos, you really make it easy to understand the wine world. My favorite Sirah is a Shiraz, Penfolds, Kalimna, south Australia, love the peppery finish.

Dear Herr Konstantin Baum. My favourite Syrah is M. Chapoutier Ermitage l'Ermite. I watch your videos every day over lunch; I am studying at the WSET on their course towards professional proficiency. Thank you very much for your insights and information. This, like the others, is an excellent educational video. Dave Kraft from London, UK.

Oh wow, I learned so much! Very new to wine, and Syrah/Shiraz as my starting point. Very fortunate to have plentiful wineries down here in South-East Australia to explore. :)

Great video , very informative and nicely described ! Happy to find you ! Keep up the good work 🥂

My favorite Syrah is from Arnot Roberts. I remember the last drop running down the bottle to stain the flower on the label. A real beautiful wine to me. Reminds me of northern Rhône in style. Love your channel. Keep up the great work.

I have to admit that the fact about oak flavor surprised me a bit because according to my experience in Australian Shiraz oak is very easy to smell and often is the predominant aroma. Great video!

Konstantine. Brilliantly informative and delivered by a very cool guy. Thank you, and keep up your amazing videos and you’ll have lots of followers to join you. 🍷

Love the level of depth you're gving to all these breakdowns! Keep it up as I feel you're one of the better channels out there for getting expansive wine content in a digestible form. Also tell us more about that Radio Coteau you poured! That winery is awesome.

I really enjoy your content, thanks! I’m based in South Africa, and love learning about wines - quite familiar with our wines now
