The semantic difference is purely a matter of location: Wines made from this grape grown in France and other parts of Europe are called “Syrah,” which, phonetically, is pronounced “see-rah.” When the Syrah vines were brought to Australia in the 19th century, however, winemakers began labelling the purplish wine “Shiraz.”
Why did they change the name of the wine Shiraz?
The reason for this renaming is not entirely clear; some chalk the change in pronunciation up to the unique Australian accent, while the BBC points out that the grape’s name was intentionally changed to Shiraz.
