It is made from the Shiraz (Syrah) grape.

The Syrah grape is better known as Shiraz in Australia.

Syrah wine is made from the juice of the Shiraz grape, also known as the Syrah grape. Native to France, the Syrah grape is grown in Spain, the U.S., Italy, South Africa, Italy and elsewhere. Called Shiraz in Australia, the wine has become enormously popular internationally. Therefore, wine from the grape is usually now marketed as Shiraz.

The Shiraz grape is the same grape as the Syrah grape. Syrah / Shiraz grows in hot weather climates like Persia (where the word "Shiraz" and the grape itself originates), the South of France / Provence, warmer vineyards in California, and Western Australia. Australian style Shiraz, and many California Syrahs, are made to emphasize the fruit on the palate, while old world style French Syrahs and blends like the Chateauneuf du Pape (which includes Syrah) are made to emphasize a more earthy palate.
