Jacob's Creek Winter Warmer

Ward off the winter chill with a hand-warming glass of mulled wine. A European tradition dating back centuries, warmed, spiced red wine appears as Gløgg in Scandinavia, Glühwein in Germany, Wassail in England, Vin Chaud in France and Vin Brule in Italy. As simple as heating wine with sugar and spice, the recipe below is an easy starting point for creating your own holiday mulled wine tradition.

1 bottle Jacob's Creek Shiraz
1/2 cup sugar
3 cinnamon sticks
3 whole cloves
1 tbsp grated nutmeg
1/2 vanilla bean
1 tbsp orange zest
1 cup Martell VS

Pour the wine into a large pot heat over a low flame. Add sugar and spices as the wine begins to warm. Stir until sugar is dissolved and add brandy. Heat thoroughly but do not boil! Add orange zest. Let steep for 45 minutes over very low heat. More sugar may be added to taste at this time —stir well to dissolve. Serve hot and garnish with an orange slice. To intensify flavors, steep in the refrigerator overnight and serve hot the next day.
