Woop Woop Shiraz 2007,
is a juicy blanket of berries to warm those cold winter nights. A South Australian value wine, at just $9.99, can be found at most grocery stores. This is not for the faint at heart, and my husband is a big Pinot Noir drinker so he wasn’t as crazy about this heavy weight. Blueberries, blackberries, a touch of warmth from the mix of French and American Oak round out this Shiraz. The price, quality, and accessibility make this wine an easy pick for those red meat nights.
Quick Fact: Shiraz is the name of this Noble Red Grape in Australia where it occupies a greater portion of vineyards, and Syrah in France where it is only about 2% of the varietals.
Quick History:
The Shiraz/Syrah varietal is believed to have originated in the Middle Eastern city of Shiraz, which is now southeastern Iran.
