Default Where, besides Australia, is Syrah known as Shiraz?

To my knowledge, Shiraz is a term coined in Australia and only bottles
from there will say "Shiraz". Are there, in fact, other countries using
the term "Shiraz" on their bottles?


In Spain, Enrique Mendoza makes an excellent wine from the grape and they
call it "Enrique Mendoza Shiraz" instead the more common "Syrah" used in
most wineries. An excellent wine, BTW, as is the case with the winery.
Their Reserva Santa Rosa is very, very good, and at 18eur the bottle is a
great qpr.

Best,

Santiago
