WOOP
WOOP VERDELHO
Woop Woop is a
collaboration between Ben Riggs, the winemaker
of
Penny’s Hill, and Tony Parkinson, owner of Penny’s Hill.
The wine is 100% Verdelho from the Limestone Coast region, located in
the
southeastern area of South Australia. With some of the youngest soils
in
Australia, the Limestone Coast formed as little as 750, 000 years ago and
consists
of an underlying limestone base which, when coupled with the relatively
cool
climate makes for ideal grape growing conditions.
Without using any
oak, winemaker Ben Riggs has made a fresh, fragrant wine in
a
rich, fruit driven style, which finishes with a crisp and flavorsome
persistence.
Woop Woop is Australian slang for the middle of nowhere in the
Outback…
“just
been to Woop Woop and back”. The carton is smothered
with Australian
sayings
using Woop Woop.
