Matchbook Petite Sirah

Matchbook wines are on fire. Seriously, these guys are taking it to the next level – and we’re not just talkin’ about the wine!

The Giguiere brothers (from the family who owns Matchbook wines) were known pyromaniacs back in the 50s and 60s – even setting fire to the family wheat fields. An hour long stay behind bars (imposed by Dad) didn’t put them off either. Uncontrolled blazes, rockets being launched into the sky and frequent calls to the local fire department.

To this day the brothers still look at the Matchbook label and reminisce about their dear old pyro-mad days!

From the Dunnigan Hills in California comes this full bodied red, typical of the PS (that’s what the wine geeks called Petit Sirah) style. Matchbook Petite Sirah] is all about the flavours of blueberries, plums, chocolate and spicy all making for a seriously delicious red.
