Sam Plunkett Metayage Cabernet Sauvignon 2012
About the wine
Sam's Gold medal-winning Cabernet
- Sam's spectacular Métayage Cabernet is finally here. And thanks to funding raised in the Naked Fine Wine Bond, it tastes even MORE mouth-wateringly refined and decadent.
- With Sam's expertise and amazing pedigree, wonderfully rich volcanic soils, deliciously intense grapes drizzled in Aussie sunshine and lavished in love and luxury oak - it's the Rolls Royce of Cabernet.
- This intense, deep crimson nectar is exactly what a fine wine should taste like, and the experts agree - it's just scooped GOLD at the prestigious Victorian Wine Show.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Sam Plunkett
- Legend is a word we sometimes overuse, but in Sam's case, it's true. Over in Oz he’s regarded as one of their greatest living winemakers. Getting on for a thousand medals and trophies to his name, including the daddy of them all – the Best Shiraz in Australia Trophy at the 2010 Great Australian Shiraz Challenge.
- Yet if you met him, you’d probably mistake him for the gardener. He’s one of the most down-to-earth, approachable blokes you’ll ever meet. He wears a beat-up old hat and drives a beat-up old pick up, and when he’s not in the vineyard, you’re likely to find him up a ladder with a wrench in his hand.
- From being in a pretty sticky situation back in 2011 when he was unexpectedly bought-out by his business partner, Sam has just achieved his lifetime dream; he’s converted an old textile factory into his very own gleaming high-tech winery and it’s all thanks to Angel funding!
