Syrah is a single-varietal red wine from Nasu 661 Wine Hills in Nasu, Tochigi Prefecture, made from 100% estate-grown Syrah grapes. Small-berried with a deep purple-garnet skin, the fruit yields a bright ruby-colored wine with spicy black pepper and blackberry aromas. The tannins and fruit are well balanced, giving a medium-bodied red that pairs naturally with spice-seasoned lamb and pork dishes. Bottled at 720ml, it is one of the winery's single-vineyard varietal releases alongside its Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc.
A compact, peppery Syrah that punches above its price — the black pepper and blackberry lift make it one of the winery's most food-friendly reds.
New to wine?
A friendly introduction to Japanese Syrah — spicy and fruity rather than heavy or tannic.
Food Pairings

When to drink it
Barbecue and grilled meats, spice-forward dinners, casual gatherings.
