It's barbecue time.so fire up the grill this weekend and get ready to indulge yourself because there's a great wine you're going to want to try with it. It's Australia's Shiraz.
The Aussies are a pretty independent minded bunch so they appropriated Syrah from the French and put their own stamp on it.calling it Shiraz.
Same grape, but in the hands of the Australians a completely different style of wine.an inky dark wine that seems to jump out of the glass at you.
That hot downunder sun in the Barossa, Hunter or Goulburn Valleys bakes it ripe so the wines are concentrated with dark fruit flavors - then it's almost like Mother Nature then tosses in a dash of black pepper to spice it up a notch.
And what may be best of all? Aussie Shiraz can be one of the best values in the wine shop. Which is another reason it's great at barbecue time.
Pop the cork™.
